STEP 7:
Ping-pong recording
What is ping-pong recording?
Ping-pong recording refers to a technique in which the playback from two or more
previously-recorded tracks is mixed and recorded onto a different track. Ping-pong
recording can be used to free up tracks so that more sound sources can be recorded on
them, allowing you to create recordings with more parts than actual tape tracks.
[Example] A seven-part ensemble using ping-pong recording
Result; a total of 7 recorded
parts A-G!
Preparation and tips
☆ In this Step, we will explain how you can combine tracks 1-4, add new sound sources A, B,

☆ Before you begin, initialize the controls of the XR-7.
