Checking the metronome sound

1.Press the [DISP SEL] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to switch the time base in advance to BAR/BEAT/CLK.

2.Start playback from the beginning of the Program.

Even if the selected Program does not have any recorded data, track 24 outputs the metronome sound and the unit counts time.

3. Adjust the system so the sound output from track 24 can be monitored with the mixer.

You will hear the metronome sound output from track 24 using the Tempo Map created earlier.

4.After confirming the metronome sound, stop the recorder section and return to the top Program.

Adjusting monitor/record level of the musical instrument

5.Press the [RECORD TRACK] select key of the track to record the musical instrument on, and then put that track in the READY mode.

6.Press the [RECORD] button.

The LED of the [RECORD] button will flash and the READY track will go to the input monitor mode.

7. Press the [PLAY] button and playback the Program from the top.

Only the READY track will go to the input monitor mode (recording does not take place), and all other tracks will be in the reproduction monitor mode, therefore track 24 plays back the metronome sound.

8.Play the musical instrument in time with the metronome and adjust the recording level of the track to be recorded on the mixer.

9.After adjusting the recording level, stop the recorder and return to the top of the Program.

Starting recording

10.Hold down the [RECORD] button and press the [PLAY] button to start recording.

The READY track will go to the input monitor mode just as when the recording level was adjusted. The time the level that was actually adjusted with the mixer will be recorded.

11.Play the musical instrument in time with the metronome.

Quitting recording

12. Press the [STOP] button to stop the recorder.

Checking the recorded sound

13.Turn OFF the ready track [RECORD TRACK] select key .

14.Locate the top of the Program and start playback.

Adjust and monitor the track playback sound recorded on the mixer. Since the metronome function still remains ON at this time, you can hear the metronome sound during playback of the recorded sounds when you turn up the track 24 monitor volume.

•If you wish to redo the recording, repeat the recording after executing “undo” by using the single undo/redo or multiple undo functions.
