making it easier to tune using the built-in mic.
V1.10 additions
You can now set the
EXT IN
input levels for
the left and right channels independently.
If the input selection on the
REC MODE
screen
(
SOURCE
or
EXT IN
) is set to
EXT INDEP.
, you
can set the
EXT IN
input levels of the left and right
channels independently.
When the Home Screen is open, you can use the
INPUT
LEVEL
(+/–) buttons on the left side panel to adjust the
input level.
Use the following buttons to switch between adjusting
the input levels of the left and right channels.
When the
REC MODE
item is set to
STEREO
,
DUAL
or
OVERDUB-SEPARATE
, use the

NOTE
When the
SOURCE
item on the
EFFECT
screen is set
to
EXT IN
or
INT MIC
and an eect is applied to
the input signal, elements of both left and right channels
will be included in the eect sound, so sound from the
opposite channel will be mixed into the recorded signal.
When the input selection on the
REC MODE
screen
(
SOURCE
or
EXT IN
) is set to
EXT IN 1/2
, the
EXT IN
input level will be the same for both left and
right channels.
The delay time range when the
REC MODE
item is set to
4CH
has been expanded.
The delay time can now be set to a maximum of 150 ms.
The delay time when the
REC MODE
item is
set to
4CH
can now be set independently for
left and right channels.
If there are dierences in the distances from the sound
source to the
INT MIC
, to the
EXT IN L
channel
and to the
EXT IN R
channel, you can compensate
for the time lag by treating the
INT MIC
as the basic
position and then adjusting the
EXT IN L
and
EXT
IN R
channel delay times.
The input level setting pull-up menu has
been changed so that its items correspond to
the input source.
V1.02 additions
Right external input channel muting when
recording 4 channels
When the
REC MODE
item is set to
4CH
on the
REC
MODE
screen, a new function has been added that allows
the right external input channel to be muted by setting
the
EXT IN
item to
EXT IN 1
. This function allows
you to use a mono mic on the left external input channel
with the built-in mics for three-channel recording.
The les created, however, will still be two stereo les with
the right external input channel muted.
NOTE
When the
EXT IN
item is set to
EXT IN 1
,
eects cannot be used when recording
If you want the left external input channel to be
centered when monitoring, press the MIXER button
during recording or recording standby and set the
channel 3
PAN
to
C
(center) on the
MIXER
screen.
