Assigning inputs

When we talk about “assigning” inputs, we are talking about routing the signals from the two inputs to the tracks.

You can record on up to two tracks at a time. This means that the same input can be assigned to two tracks at the same time (but you can’t then use the other input) or the two inputs can be assigned to different tracks. You can’t assign both inputs to the same track at the same time.

Press and hold one of the ASSIGN keys

And then press one of the 8 REC keys

Figure 1.7: Assigning inputs to tracks

Press and hold the ASSIGN key corresponding to the input signal you are assigning (A or B).

While holding down the ASSIGN key, press the REC key of the track to which you are assigning the input.

The REC key flashes rapidly.

If you want to assign the input to another track, you must first clear the current assignment (see below), and then re-assign the input.

Note that the REC key of the first track to which you assigned the input flashes when you hold down the ASSIGN key.

Clearing an assignment Hold down the ASSIGN key to check current assignments, then while holding the ASSIGN key, clear current assign- ments by pressing a flashing REC key (which then stops flashing).

Press and hold SHIFT and either of the ASSIGN keys (A or B) to turn

the inputs on or off as shown by the indicator. You may want to turn off unused inputs to reduce noise.
