Rerecording with effect

The final step is to rerecord the recorded "dry" sound on track 1 while applying the effect (guitar distor- tion) with the setting you made in rehearsal.

ing down the [SHIFT] key.

The unit enter the REC EFFECT mode, in which you can apply the insert effect. The screen shows some- thing like below.

The [BOUNCE/REC EFF] key and the [TRACK STATUS/ TRACK SEL] key for track 1 flash.

<Selecting a recording track>

When entering the REC EFFECT mode, the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key for track 1 flashes. You can select any track to be recorded from among tracks 1 through 6 by pressing the appropriate [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key.

In this example, you are going to record to track 1, so you do not have to change the setting.

2Press the [EFFECT] key.

The effect type selection screen appears, where "L39 Gtr Dist" is selected. All parameter are set as you did during rehearsal.

3Press the [PLAY] key while holding down the

[RECORD] key to start recording.

During recording in the “REC EFFECT mode”, the [BOUNCE/REC EFF] key is flashing in red.

4Press the [STOP] key to stop recording.

5Press the [BOUNCE/REC EFF] key.

The unit exits the REC EFFECT mode, and the [BOUNCE/ REC EFF] key turns off, while the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key for track 1 lights steadily in green.

6Press the [REWIND] key while holding down the [STOP] key to locate to the beginning of the pro- gram.

7Press the [EFFECT] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to turn off the effect.

The [EFFECT] key turns off.

<Note>

Before playing back the rerecorded sound, always turn off the effect by the above operation.

If you playback the rerecorded sound while the ef- fect is set to ON, you will monitor the "wet" sound with applying the effect.

8Press the [PLAY] key to start playback from the

beginning of the program.

You can confirm that the "dry" sound on track 1 is replaced with the "wet" sound.

<To cancel recording>

If you are not satisfied with the result, press the [UNDO/REDO] key to undo the last recording, and make recording again. Pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key once returns track 1 to the "dry" sound.

Pressing the [UNDO/REDO] key again returns track 1 back to the "wet" sound.

If you like, try recording in the similar manner by select- ing the other effect type.

<Make sure that the effect is set to ON>

If the effect is set to OFF, press the [EFFECT] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to switch it to ON.

<Check the recording level>

When applying the insert effect, you can adjust the recording level by the "Out Level" parameter. Before starting recording, check/adjust the record- ing level by following the procedure below. Note that the channel fader, [MASTER] fader, EQ and pan only affect the monitor sound.

1. Use the [JOG] dial to highlight the "Out Level" parameter.

2. Press the [RECORD] key to monitor the input.

3. Press the [PLAY] key to start playback from the beginning.

4. While monitoring the playback sound with applying the effect, adjust the "Out Level" value appropriately using the [JOG] dial so that the PEAK indicator does not light frequently.

5. After setting the level, locate to the beginning of the program.

<Notes for the REC EFFECT mode>

•In the REC EFFECT mode, you can select an effect type only from among L39 through L44.

If you enter the REC EFFECT mode from the condition in which an effect type for the loop effect is selected, "L39: Gtr Dist" will be initially selected.

•In the REC EFFECT mode, if you recall a scene in which the loop effect is used, the effect type is not changed. Or, when a track the insert effect is applied to is selected, if you recall a scene in which a track the insert effect is applied to is selected, the track selection is not recalled. In such a case, use the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key to change the selection.

•In the REC EFFECT mode, You cannot set "Scene Sequence" and "Digital In" to ON. If you enter the REC EFFECT mode while one or both of these are set to ON, the unit automatically sets it (them) to OFF.

•In the REC EFFECT mode, you cannot playback or record tracks 7 and 8 (the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] keys never light up).

•To rerecord a desired part of a track with applying the insert effect, it will be a good idea to use the auto punch-in/out function. See page 33 for details about the auto punch-in/out.
