Here’s how a performance on a connected instrument can be recorded on an audio
track. The input source selected by the INPUT SELECT button can be recorded in
mono or stereo.

in red.
Now the selected audio track is ready for recording.

The state of each audio track is shown by the color of its [STATUS] button.
•Dark: An audio track that has been muted (silenced)
•Lit in green: An audio track is ready for playback.
•Lit in red: An audio track being recorded.
•Blinking in red: An audio track selected as the recording destination.
● Record in mono
When the input is mono, you will normally use one audio track to record the sound
in mono. Press a [STATUS] to select one of the audio tracks 1–8.

● Record in stereo
When the input is stereo, you will normally use two audio tracks to record the sound
in stereo. Press two [STATUS] in a combination of 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8.
A sound that is input in mono will become stereo if an insert effect is applied to it. If
you wish to record in stereo while applying an insert effect, select two audio tracks
with same procedure as above.

For details on the jack to use
for connections and on the
INPUT SELECT button, refer
to “Panel Description: Rear
panel” (p. 30) and “Panel
Description: INPUT section”
(p. 21).
If the eight audio tracks are
insufficient for you to record
all of the necessary
performances, you can
combine the performances of
multiple audio tracks into a
single track, freeing up
additional audio tracks for
more recording. ➔
“Combining the performances
of multiple audio tracks—
Bounce Recording” (p. 125)
When recording in stereo
using SIMUL, set the input pan
to “L100” (the far left) before
you record. If you set the input
pan except for “L100,” the two
input sources will be mixed
and recorded.
For details on insert effects,
refer to “Using the insert
effects” (p. 141).
