<Signal flow of track bouncing>
The following shows the signal flow for each of two track bouncing modes. Understand the signal
flow before making track bouncing.
• "1-6 > 7/8" mode
• "1-4 > 5/6" mode
In the "1-6 > 7/8" mode, tracks 1 through 6
are played back and mixed down to stereo,
and bounced to tracks 7/8.
In this mode, you can apply a reverb (or de-
lay) to tracks 1 through 4, as well as the mas-
tering effect to the mixed signals.
From headphones (or monitor speakers), you
can hear the signals bounced to tracks 7/8 (i.e.
mixed signals).
In the "1-4 > 5/6" mode, tracks 1 through 4
are played back and mixed down to stereo,
and bounced to tracks 5/6.
As with the "1-6 > 7/8" mode, you can apply
a reverb (or delay) to tracks 1 through 4, as
well as the mastering effect to the mixed sig-
nals.
From headphones (or monitor speakers), you
can hear the signals bounced to tracks 5/6
(i.e. mixed signals) as well as playback signals
of tracks 7/8.
While the recorder is stopped, each press of the
[1-4 > 5/6, 1-6 > 7/8] key switches the bounce
mode among "1-4 > 5/6" mode", "1-6 > 7/8"
mode and off.
When either of the bounce modes is selected,
the destination tracks (5/6 or 7/8) are automati-
cally armed and change to input monitoring, as
well as the screen shows the appropriate bounce
mode.
