Chapter 1: Outline of the DPS12
Chapter 1: Outline of the DPS12
Note:
This manual has been prepared based on the DPS12 . Please read DPS12 in the manual as DPS12i,
unless otherwise noted specifically.
This chapter describes the features of the DPS12 and the name of its parts and functions. It also describes
the DPS12’s unique conceptual design and operating method. AKAI professtional recommends that you
read this chapter thoroughly even though you may already be quite familiar with multitrack recorders and
mixing consoles.
Features of the DPS12
The DPS12 has the following features:
The DPS12 includes a hard disk recorder that enables you to perform 12-track recording/playback,
and a 20-channel digital mixer. You can record and mix down on a single DPS12 as if you were using
a multitrack recorder.
The DPS12 provides you with 12 recording/playback tracks (physical tracks) and 250 data storage
tracks (virtual tracks). Switching among virtual tracks that are assigned to physical tracks allows you to
record multiple takes of the same part or phrase and later select the best take for mixdown.
The mixer section is fully loaded with EQ, Pan, two AUX sends, and Level capabilities. In addition to 12
TRACK MIX channels that control the output from the recorder tracks, 8 THRU MIX channels are
available to directly control input signals from the INPUT jacks.You can mix down the signal from a
connected synthesizer, tone module, and/or external effect processor while playing back 12 tracks on
the recorder section.
Up to six external hard disks and/or MO drives can be connected to the SCSI connector for backup and
recording.
Connecting a MIDI device, such as a MIDI sequencer, allows for sync master or slave operation. Using
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) also enables you to remote-control the DPS12 from a connected external
device.
Up to 100 locate points in songs can be named and stored. You can immediately jump to any specified
locate point with an easy operation. A “Quick Locate function” that assigns locate points to the keys on
the front panel is also available.
The DPS12 offers an improved and integrated edit function. You can specify track(s) to edit, and the
range of various editing operations, such as Copy & Paste, Cut & Paste, and Copy & Insert.
The DPS12 is equipped with a scene memory that stores mix settings. You can create several mix
configurations with different balance and EQ settings. You can also adjust the mix-related parameters
via MIDI. Combining this with a MIDI sequencer will enable a mix automation.
The internal effect board, EB2M, will provide you with two-channel, internally-connected digital effects.
This enables you to handle all signals, from recording through the application of effects to mixdown, in
the digital domain.
