Input Select status and track button functions
* The following section describes the selection of audio tracks using track buttons. When any of the TRACK TYPE indicators are lit up,
Tracks 11/12 through 15/16 will each be selected for drum patterns, bass patterns, and loop phrases, respectively. It is important to
remember that the operation of these tracks will differ from that of standard audio tracks.
When the Input Select status is GUITAR/BASS:
Only one of the track buttons will flash, and the sound
source will be recorded to the corresponding track.
If a pair of adjacent track buttons (such 1 and 2, or 3 and 4)
are pressed simultaneously at this time, both of these
buttons will begin to flash, indicating that the
corresponding tracks have been selected as the destination
for a stereo recording. If you then press one of these track
buttons, things go back to the way they commonly are, with
only one track button flashing. This means that the
corresponding track has been selected to record in mono.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10
through Track 15/16 is selected, the corresponding tracks
will always be selected for stereo recording.
Certain effects applied to mono input sources produce a
stereo output, and the BR-1600CD allows stereo tracks to be
selected so that this audio can be recorded. If the output of
such an effect were recorded to a mono track, the stereo
nature of the sound would be lost.
When the Input Select status is VOCAL:
Only one of the track buttons will flash.
If a pair of adjacent track buttons (such 1 and 2, or 3 and 4)
are pressed simultaneously at this time, both of these
buttons will begin to flash, indicating that the
corresponding tracks have been selected as the destination
for a stereo recording. If you then press one of these track
buttons, things go back to the way they commonly are, with
only one track button flashing. This means that the
corresponding track has been selected to record in mono.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10
through Track 15/16 is selected, the corresponding tracks
will always be selected for stereo recording.
Certain effects applied to mono input sources produce a
stereo output, and the BR-1600CD allows stereo tracks to be
selected so that this audio can be recorded. If the output of
such an effect were recorded to a mono track, the stereo
nature of the sound would be lost.
When the Input Select status is SIMUL:
A pair of tracks are selected for recording, and the track
buttons for these tracks start flashing.
In this condition, the audio from the INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack or
the GUITAR/BASS jack, and the audio from the INPUT 2/MIC
2 jack will be recorded separately on the two selected tracks.
If one of the flashing track buttons were to be pressed at this
time, the other button would stop flashing and turn off,
indicating that a mix of the two input sources will be recorded
to the mono track corresponding to the flashing track button.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10
through Track 15/16 is selected, the corresponding tracks
will always be selected for the separate recording of each of
the input sources.
When the Input Select status is MULTI-TRACK:
Track buttons 1 through 8 or 9/10 through 15/16 will all start
to flash. In this condition, the audio from INPUT 1/MIC 1
through INPUT 8/MIC 8 will each be recorded separately to
one of the tracks whose track button is flashing.
If any of the track buttons 9/10 through 15/16 are pressed
while track buttons 1 through 8 are flashing, these buttons
will turn off and track buttons 9/10 through 15/16 will all
start to flash. Similarly, If any of the track buttons 1 through
8 are pressed while track buttons 9/10 through 15/16 are
flashing, these buttons will turn off and track buttons 1
through 8 will all start to flash.
If you do not want to record to a specific track, press the
corresponding track button while it is flashing. It will stop
flashing and turn off, indicating that no audio will be
recorded to the corresponding track. If you decide to record
to that track after all, press the corresponding track button
once again. It will start to flash, indicating that the track has
been re-selected for recording.
When the Input Select status is STEREO TRACKS:
A stereo track is selected for recording, and the track button
for this track starts flashing.
In this condition, the input sources from INPUT 1/MIC 1
through INPUT 8/MIC 8 are mixed in stereo, and this mix
is recorded to the selected track.
If one of the flashing track buttons were to be pressed at this
time, the other button would stop flashing and turn off,
indicating that a mix of the two input sources will be recorded
to the mono track corresponding to the flashing track button.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10
through Track 15/16 is selected, the corresponding tracks
will always be selected for the separate recording of each of
the input sources.
