7[TRACK STATUS] keys

These keys are used to switch each track between play/ record or mute states. The status of the track will alter- nate each time you press the key.

PLAY (LED lit green): The track can be played.

REC (LED lit red): The track can be recorded. When recording from the analog/digital inputs, you can select up to four tracks for recording (two tracks in Modeling mode).

INPUT (LED lit orange): The track can receive an exter- nal audio signal. This state can be selected only while stopped.

Select this when you want to perform while listening to other tracks so that you can rehearse before recording, or if you want to mix an external input source with the playback.

MUTE (LED dark): The track is muted (silent).

The states that can be selected will depend on the state

and settings of the recorder.

These settings can be paired, or registered in a scene.

8[PAN] knobs (Ch1...6), [BALANCE] knobs (Ch7...12)

For each channel, these knobs adjust the position (pan)

or left/right balance of the stereo signal to the master LR bus (→ p.37).

For channels 1–6 for which pairing is “Off,” these knobs control panning to the master LR bus.

For channels 1–6 for which pairing is “On” and for channels 7–12, these knobs control the left/right balance of the stereo signal to the master LR bus.

These settings can be paired, or registered in a scene. When recording to channels that have a balance setting, you must set the knob to “CNT.”

9[CHANNEL] faders (Ch1...6, Ch7/8...11/12)

These faders adjust the recording/playback volume of each channel (→ p.37).

Channels 7–12 are stereo faders.

These settings can be paired, or registered in a scene.

•For channels whose [TRACK STATUS] is PLAY, the fader adjusts the playback volume.

•For channels whose [TRACK STATUS] is REC, the fader adjusts the recording level of the external audio source or the rhythm.

•For channels whose [TRACK STATUS] is INPUT, the fader adjusts the recording level of the external audio source.

Faders that adjust the recording level will function differently depending on whether an external input is being recorded or bounce recording is being performed.

•When recording an external input (i.e., when the [BOUNCE] “RecMode” tab page “Select RecMode” parameter is set to “Input”), the channel fader adjusts the recording level.

10[MASTER] fader

This fader adjusts the overall volume of all channels. The volume adjusted by this fader is output from the [MASTER OUT L/R] jacks and the [S/P DIF OUT] jack.

•When recording an external input (i.e., when the [BOUNCE] “RecMode” tab page “Select RecMode”

parameter is set to “Input”), the master fader adjusts the volume level of the master LR bus.

•When bounce-recording (i.e., when the [BOUNCE] “RecMode” tab page “Select RecMode” parameter is set to “Bounce”), the master fader adjusts the record- ing level to the track(s) whose [TRACK STATUS] is REC.

11[REW] key

This key changes the location to an earlier time (rewind) while stopped or moving.

If you hold down the [STOP] key and press the [REW] key, you will move to the previous-numbered song (if you are already at the beginning of the song) or to the beginning of the current song (if you are in the middle of the song).

12[FF] key

This key changes the location to a later time (fast-for- ward) while stopped or playing.

If you hold down the [STOP] key and press this key, you will move to the end of the current song (if not already at the end) or to the beginning of the next song (if you are already at the end of the current song).

If the Scrub function is on, you can press this key to per- form Slow Play (→ p.34).

13[STOP] key

This key stops recording or playback, halting the recorder.

14[PLAY] key

This key plays tracks whose [TRACK STATUS] is PLAY. For tracks whose [TRACK STATUS] is REC, pressing the [REC] key and then this key will begin recording.

The LED of this key will light while the recorder is recording or playing.

If the Scrub function is on, pressing this key will per-

form Play From, and pressing this key while holding down the [STOP] key will perform Play To. (→ p.34)

15[REC] key

Press this key to enter record-ready mode (the LED will blink). In order to enter record-ready mode, one or more tracks must be set to a [TRACK STATUS] of REC. When you press the [PLAY] key, the LED will light and record- ing will begin.

If the foot switch function (→ p.101) is set to “PunchIn Out”, the foot switch will perform the same function as the [REC] key.

16[VALUE] dial

Use this dial to edit values or to move the current loca- tion.

If the Scrub function is on, turning this dial will play the track at the corresponding speed.

17[CURSOR] keys

These keys move the cursor. They are also used to adjust the contrast (brightness) of the display.

18[POWER] key

This key turns the power on/off. (→ p.15)

19MIDI indicator

This indicator will light when a MIDI message is received at the MIDI IN connector.
