Recording signal flow
1 With the DPS12’s default settings, signals input at INPUT jacks 1/2 are sent via [INPUT GAIN] controls to
physical tracks 1/2 of the recorder section.
2 Press the [RECORD SELECT] keys 1 and 2 on the top panel to cause tracks 1 and 2 to enter recording-ready
status.
3 Output signals from tracks 1 and 2 are directed to TRACK MIX channels 1/2 of the mixer section. At this time,
the input source signals (the signal input to the tracks selected by the [RECORD SELECT] keys) are output
whether the transport section is stopped or recording.
4 You may adjust the level and pan setting of the TRACK MIX channel 1/2 signals using the channel faders 1/2
and the [PAN] controls 1/2 on the top panel.
5 Signals that have passed through the channel faders and the [PAN] controls are mixed into a stereo signal, then
routed to the [MASTER] fader.
6 The signal adjusted by the [MASTER] fader for output level is output from the MASTER OUT jacks and the
OPTICAL OUT jacks.
