Model X-34 Owner’s Manual

Basic Recording - 1 (Recording from the front panel LINE IN/INSERT jack)

First, let’s connect your musical instrument and try recording on a specific track.

In the following example, a synthesizer will be recorded on track 1. This and other explanations assume an AC adapter is connected to the X-34 and the X-34 is powered on.

*Before proceeding to the next step, set the X-34 to its “initial settings” as explained on page 9. Also, make sure that the Track Down indicator is turned off.
