Mixdown the sound of the sound generator
Here’s how to use your MIDI/audio sequencer software to mixdown MIDI tracks 
and audio tracks.
1. Start up your sequencer software, and open the sequence data that contains 
the MIDI data and audio data that you wish to mixdown.
2. In your sequencer software, select Roland SC-D70 PART A as the port for 
the MIDI that you wish to play back.
3. In your sequencer software, select Roland SC-D70 Wave as the port for the 
audio that you wish to play.
4. As desired, set your sequencer software to mute any tracks that you do not 
wish to play back.
5. In your sequencer software, select Roland SC-D70 Wave as the port for the 
track(s) to be recorded.
6. In your sequencer software, select the track(s) that you wish to record.
7. Press the SC-D70’s recording source select button to specify 
INST+WAVE as the recording source. (p. 21)
8. Adjust the recording level as described in Adjusting the recording level 
(p. 22).
9. Rewind to the beginning of the song, and start recording. When you finish 
recording, stop. Rewind to the beginning of the song, and play back to hear 
the recorded data.
 What is mixdown?
Mixdown is the process by which vocals, guitar, and backing that were recorded on 
separate tracks are combined into a single stream of audio data. During the 
mixdown, you can adjust the volume and pan (left/right balance) of each track, and 
record the resulting audio data on unused tracks.
The included CD-ROM 
contains demo songs that 
are examples of sequence 
data with MIDI data and 
audio data.
If the MIDI data exceeds 16 
parts, set the other ports to 
Roland SC-D70 PART B.
If you are unable to select 
Roland SC-D70 Wave as 
the port for the recording 
track(s), the SC-D70 has not 
een specified correctly as 
an audio device for the 
sequencer software. For 
details on how to make 
audio device settings, refer 
to the manual of your 
sequencer software.
