The DP-01FX con-
tains an input ef-
fects processor (
MULTI
). See “DP-
01FX Appendix” on page 58 for
details.
When you’ve connected the source, and made the assignments of inputs to
tracks, you’re ready to start recording.
1 Press the REC key of the track(s) you’re going to record on, which start
to flash slowly (this is called “arming” the track(s).
2 Press and hold the RECORD key and press the PLAY key.
The
RECORD key indicator lights red, and the PLAY indicator lights
green. The track
REC indicators stop flashing and light steadily.
3 Press STOP when you’ve finished recording.
4 To return to the place where you started recording, press and hold
down the
STOP key, and press the F FWD (LRP = Last Recording Posi-
tion) key.
To return to the zero point, press and hold down the
STOP key and
press the
REW (RTZ = Return To Zero) key.
5 Press PLAY to start playback of the recorded tracks.
The faders and
other mixer con-
trols adjust the output level of
the recorded tracks, not the input
signals.
Use the track fader(s) and the red MASTER fader to adjust the level of
what you hear. Adjust the final volume with the headphones control
and the monitoring system’s volume control.
The pan controls position the track in the stereo “image” created by
the left and right speakers (or headphones). The center position is
marked by a “click” feel when you turn the knob.
You can change
the setting of the
high and low equalization con-
trols. See “EQ settings” on
page 28 for details.
The EQ HIGH and EQ LOW equalization controls work in a similar way
to the bass and treble tone controls on a stereo system. The center
“click” position of the knob means there’s no cut or boost for the
appropriate band.
… You can re-record the track if you’re not happy with it by going back to
the original point and repeating the process.
… When you’re happy with your recording, you can un-arm the track(s)
(“safe” them) and arm and record on other tracks. Remember to re-
assign the inputs as well as arming the tracks.
… Press the REW or F FWD keys for a short while and then release them
to wind backwards or forwards through your recording (like a tape
recorder). Press and hold these keys to increase the “wind” speed. Press
STOP to stop the fast winding (again, like a tape recorder).
