Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the TONEWORKS Digital Recording

Studio PXR4.

In order to take full advantage of the PXR4 and enjoy trouble-

free operation, please read this manual carefully. After you

have read this manual, please keep it for future reference.

Main features

The PXR4 is a digital multi-track recorder that uses

“SmartMedia™” as its storage medium.

The PXR4 lets you record from guitar, keyboard, mic, or

other instruments, and mix your tracks to complete a song

– all without requiring any additional equipment. You can

also use the USB connector to send the recorded data to

your computer.

Printing conventions in this manual

[ ]: Keys, and knobs on the panel of the PXR4 are enclosed

in [square brackets].

SmartMedia™

“ ”: Parameters that appear in the display are enclosed in

double quotation marks.

Steps 1 2 3 ...: Steps in a procedure are indicated as 1

2 3 ...

In addition to recording in the studio, you can pass

“SmartMedia™” back and forth between the members of

your band, so that each can record their performance at

home to complete the song.

→p.■■: This indicates a reference page.

Virtual tracks

: These symbols indicate cautions or advice.

The PXR4 has four recording/ playback tracks. Each track

provides 8 virtual tracks. These virtual tracks give you the

equivalent of 32 tracks (4 tracks × 8) of multi-track record-

ing.

Display screens in this manual

The parameter values appearing in the display screens

printed in this manual are only examples, and may not be

the same as what appears in the display of your PXR4.

Effects

About your data

The built-in effect unit features Korg’s “

” modeling

technology, and contains 100 different effect programs cre-

ated by professional musicians and engineers. You can

also save 100 of your own original effect programs in the

user area.

The contents of memory may be lost if an unexpected

malfunction occurs, so be sure to make a backup of any

important data. Korg Corporation can take no responsibil-

ity for any damages due to loss of data.

The PXR4 provides other functions such as tuner, metro-

nome, and rhythm patterns to meet your recording needs.

Overdubbing – listening to the playback while you

record another track

Punch-in/ out – re-recording a portion of a track

If you make a mistake in one part of your recorded perfor-

mance, or if you are not happy with your performance,

you can re-record just a portion of the track without hav-

ing to re-record the entire track from the beginning.

The technique of listening to the playback of previously-

recorded tracks while you record another track is called

“overdubbing.” For example, this can be used when you

want to listen to previously-recorded backing tracks while

you record a lead guitar performance.

Select the track that you want to record.

Press the [REC SELECT] key of the track that you

want to record, assigning a “ ” symbol to the track

number in the display.

“Punch-in” is the action of switching the song from playback

mode to record mode, and “punch-out” is the action of

switching from record mode back to playback mode.

You can practice your performance while listening to

the previously-recorded tracks in the same way as

when actually recording. Adjust the level of your

input source (instrument), and practice playing and

working out your musical ideas until you are ready to

actually record.

When “AutoIn” is “Off,” you will always hear the input

sound of the track being recorded. If this is turned “On,” the

sound recorded on that track will play back during playback,

and during recording this will automatically switch to the

sound of the assigned input source. (→p.62)

If you cannot hear the input source, press the [SYSTEM] key,

and turn the “MixerSys” parameter “AutoIn” to “Off.”

Step 7. Using effects

If you have selected “GUITAR” for “EFFECT ASSIGN,” only

one track can be selected for recording.

The PXR4 provides 77 types of effects. It contains 100 pre-

set and 100 user effect programs that combine these effects

in various ways.

If you are using the internal mic, adjust the level with care so

that acoustic feedback does not occur.

The preset memories contain effect programs created by

professional musicians and studio engineers.

The user memories can hold effect programs that you

yourself create by editing the presets.

There are four types of effect programs: guitar effects,

insert effects, master effects, and ﬁnal effects.

(→p.35, 67) send level to adjust the depth of the effect.

This is used mainly for spatial-type effects (such as

reverb) or stereo modulation, to enhance the overall depth

of the song, and to improve the balance.

Refer to “1. Recording methods.” (→p.25)

Make sure that the number of the track that you want

to record is marked by a “ ” symbol in the display.

The combination of effect modules that can be used simul-

taneously and the order of their connection is referred to

as a “chain.” The PXR4 provides eight chains that are suit-

able for various purposes: [CHAIN1]–[CHAIN8]. The fac-

tory preset settings contain 100 effect programs, each of

which consists of one of these chains.

Set the return balance from the master effect to LR.

Press the [CURSOR] right key to display the “EffRt-

Bal” page, and use the dial to adjust the setting.

Use the send level to adjust the depth of the effect.

Enter Mixer mode, and adjust the send level while

you listen to the L/ R playback from [OUTPUT]

(→p.35).

To edit an effect program, start with one of these factory-

preset effect programs.

Type and chain conﬁguration

Step 11. Mixdown

If the input is monaural, it will be input to the L channel.

“Mixdown” refers to the process of using the faders and

effects to adjust the sound recorded on each track (→p.36),

and recording the resulting data on a two-channel

recorder (DAT recorder, MD recorder, cassette tape

recorder, etc.) to create a ﬁnished song.

3. Creating a stereo ﬁle

A completed song that you have ﬁnished recording can be

converted into a stereo MP2 song ﬁle that can be played

on your computer. A song that is created in this way can

be played back on the PXR4, but there are several limita-

tions on how it can be edited.

1. Recording onto a master tape

Check the completed song.

Adjust the level and pan etc. of each track, and play

back to check the song.

Limitations for a stereo MP2 song

• Basic operations that are not possible
