Korg PXR4 owner manual + Bounce

Parameters

Select this when you want to record while applying a ste- reo effect.

MASTER: Stereo-in → stereo-out

Select this when you want to send the “Send” signals from each track to the effect, enhancing the overall depth and balance.

FINAL: Stereo-in → stereo-out

Select this when you want to make overall adjustments to the song in the master LR bus.

(OFF):

The effect will not be used. Nothing will be displayed in the Assign area if this is selected. The effect pages will not be displayed if the assign setting is turned “OFF.”

+ BOUNCE

effect to two already-recorded tracks, and record the result on two other tracks.

2+2→ 2 (2 tracks + 2 inputs → 2 tracks):

With this type, the external input sources will be input to the tracks selected for recording by “REC SELECT.” This type is used mainly when you want to listen to two tracks while adding another performance (stereo input) and recording the result on two tracks, or similarly when you want to combine the playback of three tracks with one audio input and record the result on one track.

DUB (Dubbing):

With this type, the external input sources and the track playback will be input simultaneously to the tracks selected for recording by “REC SELECT.” This allows you to add additional material to an already-recorded track (however the levels cannot be adjusted independently). You will select this mainly when you have already decided on the part assignments of each track, and want to layer sounds as if you were using a musical notepad.

68

Select the type of bounce recording. The mixer settings will change according to the type you select, allowing var- ious types of bounce operation. (→ p.29)

Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the [LOCATE] key to switch this setting.

4→ 2 (4 tracks → 2 tracks):

With this type, the track playback will be input to the track(s) selected for recording by “REC SELECT.” Select this type when you have used up all four tracks, and want to combine them into two tracks or one track. You can also select this when you want to apply a master effect or final

CONV (Convert):

With this type, a completed song that you have already recorded can be converted into a stereo MP2 song. By converting a completed song, you will be able to send it to your computer and play it back on a MPEG1 Layer 2 play- back application. When you execute conversion, a new song will be added as a playback-only stereo MP2 song. This means that the tracks selected by “REC SELECT” will not be overwritten. Mixer operation is the same as in 4→ 2.
