Recording audio data
Here we will explain how to use your sequencer software (e.g., Cakewalk) to record 
audio data from various recording sources into your computer.
The audio data that is input to the SC-D70 will be sent via USB to your computer.
The level of this signal can be monitored in the USB recording level indicator.
1. Start up your sequencer software, and open (create) a new song.
2. In your sequencer software, select Roland SC-D70 Wave as the port for the 
track to be recorded.
3. On your sequencer software, select the track to be recorded.
4. Press the SC-D70’s recording source select button to select the source 
that you wish to record. (p. 21)
5. As described in Adjusting the recording level (p. 22), adjust the recording 
level.
6. Rewind to the beginning of the song, and start recording. When you finish 
recording, stop. Rewind to the beginning of the song, and listen to the data 
that was recorded.
If you are unable to select 
Roland SC-D70 Wave as 
the port for the track to be 
recorded, the SC-D70 has 
not been specified correctly 
as the audio device for 
your sequencer software. 
For details on making 
audio device settings, refer 
to the manual of your 
sequencer software.
If you are using sequencer software such as Cakewalk, and have selected the track 
source as Left 1:Roland SC-D70 Wave (or Right 1:Roland SC-D70 Wave), the sound 
will play back panned to far left (or right). To place the sound in the center, make 
adjustments on your sequencer software to move the track pan to the center. If you 
are using Cakewalk, click the pan field and enter “64.”
