INPUT faders (17) are sent to the buss (in this example,
SYN -* ■ GROUP buss 1 -» TRK 15, VO GROUP buss
2 -* TRK 16) and are used for sends to the recording
tracks by the assign switches (10), (11}, (12) and PAN
(13). Also, send level to the recorder is adjusted by the
master fader (here, GROUP master fader 1,2 (18}) of
the corresponding buss, while checking the level with
the meter (32).
Monitoring is don eat the SUB MIX section (3), (4). Sound
volume and pan perspective ot each track can be freely
set (it will not affecl the reording level). In this example,
we are sending the TRK 1 - ?6 oulpul signals to the
CUE buss by setting all channels 1 ~ 16 CUE/L-R
selectors (6) to CUE, then monitoring via the CUE master
level knob (31) (MONITOR selector (26) - CUE).
H OVERDUE BING
What Is ovsrdubbing?
Recording of another source cn a new separate track
■ while monitoring in sync playback the track of a pre¬
recorded sound is called "cverdubbing,' 1
Refer to Fig. 6. This is an example of overdubbing a
synthesizer (SYN) on TRK 15 and a vocat (VO) on Trk
16 while sync playback monitoring the pre-recorded TRK
1 - 14 (Refer to the recorders' Owners Manual on
functions of the REC TRK selector, etc.).
First, connect sound sources lo be newly recorded to
INPUT jacks (33) and (34) (channels 1 and 2, in this
example), and set all the GROUP'SUB selector (2) to
GROUP. Then, the various sound sources routed to the

MONITORING DRY --EFFECTS ADDED LATER,
Following is the method of monitoring on the assumption
that effects will be added later at mixdown to the recorder
output sound.
First, as shown in Fig. 7, the E-16 OUTPUT 1-16
signals are connected to the channels 1 ~ 16 INPUT
faders (17) (GROUP/SUB selector (2) - SUB),
Then, VO and 3YN are connected to INPUT faders of
channels 17, 16 (GROUP/SU8 selector (2) - ► GROUP).
GROUP buss 1. 2 are used for sends to TRK 15, 16 and
the signal to be monitored is sent to the STEREO buss
(Be careful in setting assign switches (10), (11), (12) and
PAN (13), It the channels 15, 16 assign 1-2, in particular.
Is switched ON, it will create a loop and thus result in
feed backs.).
AUX 1 ~ 4 sends (6) and D.OUT jacks (39} of each
effect outputs are returned to the GROUP IN jacks 3,
4 or JNPUT jacks (33), (34) that are not in use; and the
sound of GROUP buss 3, 4 are sent to the STEREO buss
by the GROUP TO STEREO section (20), (21); or send
the effect sound of SUB MIX section (3), (4) to the
STEREO buss by setting the CUE/L-R selector (5) to L-
R. Total sound volume of the monitor (dry sound +
processed sound) is adjusted by the STERE-O master
fader (22) and monitored by selecting the MONITOR
selector (26) to STEREO.
NOTE: When making a connecting such as D.OUT jack
(38) -* ■ effect unit -*INPUT jack (33), (34) of the same
channel (or the TAPE IN jack (36)), be very careful how
the GROUP/SUB selector (2) is set. In this example, it
will create a feedback loop it GROUP is selected.
