Feature:
A bit overwhelming at first until you really learn how to use the features. It has all you need for the beginner to the advanced. If you have a electronic drum kit such as a Roland V Tour, or similar, The ability to direct record is amazing. NO MIC'ING OF AMPS. Studio quality recording and no ambient sounds to try to filter. I plug my POD XT LIVE floor pedal direct, keyboard direct, electronic drums brain direct, Bass amp direct, GNX 2000 floor pedal direct. IT IS WONDERFUL.

Quality:
Very well designed and built. Just will this model had all the inputs on top of the board instead of on the rear.

Value:
Somehat pricey now that other newer models and other competitors who have developed the same thing run their's a little less.

Desirability:
Good machine for home recording, 16 tracks for the money is a steal. This machine looks great and performs great.

Sound:
The whole band is in amazement at how well it sound, especially after the final mixdown.

Ease of Use:
Very simple to use. the manual, however, is kind of vague at times. More of a step-by-step and not a whole lot of explaining on some of the features.

Support:
Have had no problems with this equipment.

Overall:
I do not for one minute regret buying this machine. I will use it until it dies, or until I die, whichever comes first. I don't think that any musician, serious or not about his music, will regret buying this machine. The end product it produces is very good and I have more people who have heard the CD's say that the quality is near perfect. You will not be dissatisfied. The only flaw that I can even brainstorm to find is the inputs on the rear of the machine and the EQ needs to be more sensitive and broad.

Feature:
lots of features - nice drum kits for 191 different rythms you can use until you find a human drummer to record with.

Quality:
very nicely put together - seems real solid. The CD burner is a standard PC type, and obviously could be replaced easily if needed ever. I think with an appropriately padded suit case to pack it in, it could be easily transported.

Value:
I think the value is pretty good at the going price ($1049).

Desirability:
sexy

Sound:
just started using it, and it has real nice clarity even at the lower sample rates (for the 16 track versus 8 track recording).

Support:
N/A - I have not needed support and hope I won't either.

Overall:
I am satisfied and hope to be long term satisfied.

Feature:
One word-touchscreen.

Value:
With aquired skills and technique beyond me, unfortunately, at the moment, it is perfectly possible to creat a near if not commercial quality recording with this device. Of course, good external effects, preamps, and mics would help as well.

Desirability:
Well when it powered up for the first time and everything lighted up my bandmates went "oooh" and "ahhh" like fireworks were going off or something

Sound:
The 24 bit sound quality is crystal clear. My only complaint on sound is the inability to select the 24 bit sound quality for all 16 tracks.

Support:
Haven't had any problems yet!

Overall:
I don't think there is another sixteen track recorder on the market that can compete with this baby.

Feature:
Gosh. Just too much stuff!!!

Quality:
Very Very Good. The touch screen has to be pressed hard after a lot of use, but that's OK, because that's waaaaay later, after you buy it.

Value:
A Little Pricey

Desirability:
I really wanted it!!! I could put the songs I made up into a CD.

Sound:
Perfect Sound. Perfect CD's. Perfect Piece of Equiptment.

Support:
Very Friendly.

Overall:
I will be satisfied with this forever (or untill it breaks).

Feature:
I FIND THE GUITAR AND KEYBOARD EFFECTS OUTSTANDING. AS AN OLD KEYBOARD PLAYER, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN THE ROTARY SPEAKER PATCH (2X2), WHEN THE LESLIE SPEAKER SIMULATION HAS THE LOWER DRUM SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN AT A DIFFERENT RATE FROM THE ROTATING TWEETERS. I USED TO OWN A LESLIE 147 AND THAT IS EXACTLY HOW THEY WORK.

Value:
I REMEMBER BACK 30 YEARS AGO WITH MY FIRST STUDIO EXPERIENCE AND AM REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE VALUE.

Desirability:
THE TOUCH SCREEN REALLY WORKS WELL

Sound:
FOR THE MONEY, NOTHING SOUND THIS GOOD!

Feature:
Certainly the touch screen tab features are useful and fairly well orgainized.

Quality:
I'd be a little hesitant to take it on the road.

Value:
Fairly priced. I just wish I had saved up for a 24 track, as I'm constantly submizing.

Desirability:
Nice design.

Sound:
The sound is good. I have really enjoyed the results of the D1600.

Support:
I have called Korg a few times, and they have been helpful. I'd call about the "track insert" problem, but they're closed, and I'm anxious to get a song done. Arghh.

Overall:
I'm frustrated with the manual, as I mentioned. I shouldn't be taking this long on editing and effects procedures. If it were to disappear, I'd take a look at the new 24 tracks.
