Studio Tutorials
For simplicity and guaranteed results, save your user objects, hard reset your KSP8, then load the file
MLAN01.KSP from a SmartMedia card, or the file MLAN01.MID via MIDI. FILL the file into the 800s bank. (Note
that if you already have studios in the 800s bank–which you won’t if you’ve just done a hard reset–then the
studios listed here will be renumbered starting with the first available location.)
TUTORIAL 1: mLAN recording and overdubbing with no-latency monitoring
STEP 1: RECORD
-Select studio 800 mLan Overdub.
-Plug four analog sources into the KSP8's 4 analog inputs (set levels on the config>INLVL page).
-Create 4 tracks on your DAW. Use mLAN 5-8 as the input to those four tracks respectively.
-Monitor KSP8 analog outputs 3+4 while you record.
STEP 2: PLAYBACK
-Once you have recorded onto those 4 DAW tracks, send their outputs to mLAN 1+2.
-Monitor KSP8 analog outputs 1+2 while you playback tracks from your DAW.
STEP 3: OVERDUB
-Create another track on your DAW, choosing mLAN 5 as the input to the track. For this track's output, choose
NONE, or any output except mLAN1, 2, 3 or 4 (or simply mute the track).
-Continue to monitor your DAW's playback on KSP analog outputs 1+2. Monitor the input of the new track you
are working on via KSP8 analog outputs 3+4.
-Once that track is recorded, send its output to mLAN 1+2.
-You can also use mLAN 3+4 as outputs to your DAW tracks. For example, you wish to monitor all your tracks
dry, but then try out a reverb on a lead vocal. Send the dry tracks to mLAN 1+2 and the vocal to mLAN 3+4, and
choose a reverb preset on the KSP8.
[Note: if you wish to monitor both the direct pre-DAW and post-DAW signals on the KSP8 analog outputs 1+2,
go to the EQ/sends>MIXSEND page for buses 5-8 and route them to Mix1-2 Pan.]
TUTORIAL 2: mLAN recording and overdubbing with no-latency monitoring when
DAW has a restricted number of I/O channels
(
Some entry level or demo DAW software allows only 2 channels of mLAN I/O. This tutorial will help if that is your case).
STEP 1: RECORD
-Select studio 801 mLan Overdub 1+2.
-Plug two analog sources into the KSP8's first 2 analog inputs (set levels on the config>INLVL page).
-Create 2 tracks on your DAW. Use mLAN 1-2 as the input to these tracks.
-Monitor KSP8 analog outputs 1+2.
-*Since your software may not allow you to select different outputs, you may need to turn the fader all the way
down on the track to which you are recording until you are ready to playback*
STEP 2: PLAYBACK
-Once you have recorded onto those 2 DAW tracks, send their outputs to mLAN 1+2 and turn the volume up.
-Monitor KSP8 analog outputs 3+4.
STEP 3: OVERDUB
-Create another track on your DAW, choosing mLAN 1 or 2 as the input to the track. Again, turn the fader all the
way down on the track you are recording on until you are ready to playback.
-Once that track is recorded, turn its volume up and send its output to mLAN 1+2.
