Fostex XR-7 User Manual

[Tl Connections between the XR-7 and the MIDI devices
• Connect the XR-7 lo the MIDI devices as shown in the left diagram.
Record the FSK signal
• First you must create a rhythm program on your drum machine or sequencer.
• Specify the tempo and record the FSK signal onto track 4.
At this time, record the sound of the drum machine onto track 1 to use as a reference track.
(Be sure to record at an appropriate tempo, since the tempo cannot be changed later.)
• Refer to the manual of your MIDI device regarding the appropriate level for the FSK signal.
The manual of your MIDI device will also give the required length of the pilot tone (the high pitched
pure tone of the FSK signal that indicates the standby condition before recording begins).
[31 Overdubbing to tracks 2 and 3
• while monitoring the guide rhythm on track 1, overdub other sound sources to tracks 2
and 3. Refer to STEP 3 for details about overdubbing.
STEP 8-2;
Preparation and tips
☆ In this example we will synchronize six MIDI sound sources with the sounds recorded on
tracks 1-3, and mix down to the master recorder (MIDI/TAPE Multimix mode).
☆ You can apply effects to the input signals and tape playback signals, if you like (Post
Foldback Send function).
☆ Before you begin, initialize the controls of the XR-7.
