Recording onto two tracks
You can record a pair of tracks at a time. A pair can be tracks 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 or 7-8.
The following describes the procedure for recording a stereo keyboard onto tracks 5-6 while
listening to the guitar sound recorded on track 1.
Preparation for recording
1) Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "MIC/LINE".
2) Connect stereo outputs of the keyboard to the
input connectors on the [INPUT A] and [INPUT B]
sections.
3) Press the [REC SELECT] key for track 5/6.
Track 5/6 is armed, while track number "5-6" starts
flashing on the screen.
In the song name display section on the screen, the
remaining time (available recording time) of the
card is shown.
4) Set the track 5/6 fader and [MASTER] fader to the
nominal position (marked by “
”).
Raising these faders allows you to monitor the
input sound. If these faders are not raised, you
cannot monitor the sound via headphones.
5) Press the [RECORD] key.
The armed tracks (tracks 5/6, in this case) now
changes from tape monitoring to input
monitoring, while " " is shown on the
screen.
