10.Combining multiple tracks into one or two tracks (Bounce)

The performance of multiple tracks can be com- bined into one or two tracks, freeing the original tracks for additional recording. This operation is called “track bouncing” or “ping pong recording”. This can be used when you wish to record more than 8 tracks, etc.

As an example, we will show how you can com- bine the performances of tracks 1–5 to track 6. We will also explain how you can combine tracks 1–5 to tracks 7 and 8 in stereo.

✧If you are combining the other tracks to tracks 7 and 8 in stereo, press the track 7/8 [TRACK STA- TUS] key several times to select REC (ANALOG) (indicator blinking red).

3Track 6 (the recording track) uses the “R” bus (printed on the [TRACK STATUS] key). Rotate the [PAN] knobs of tracks 1–5 to the far right position (R), so that their sound will be sent to the right channel.

When bouncing to a single track, be sure to set the [PAN] knobs of the bounce source tracks to match the indication of either “L” or “R” shown above the [TRACK STATUS] key of the bounce destina- tion track.
