VA-76 Owner’s Manual—Song Composer (16-track, etc.)

Volume (Level)

13.Press the [Mixer] field in the left column.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

14.Press the [Level] field in the left column so that it is displayed in white.

15.If necessary, use the [VOLUME] slider for setting the desired volume.

You can also touch it and use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial or the [DATA] button/Numeric Entry pad for entering the value. (You can also leave this for later.)

16.If necessary, press the VOLUME [REC] field so that it is displayed in white.

These fields (like the two remaining ones on this page) follow the same system as Tone/Drum Set selection above.

17.Play a few notes on the keyboard to check whether you like your settings.

Note: See also “Mixer: Changing the volume, adding effects” on page 147.

Want some effects?

18.Press the [Effect] field.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

19.Use these three sliders to specify the selected

track’s Send level for the Reverb, Chorus and Delay effects.

These sliders set the volume of the track signal that is sent to the effect, and consequently how much effect should be added to the track. See page 116 for how to set the effects (type, parameters). Those “overall” effect settings are part of the general SysEx settings of the “M” track and must be set before recording the first track.

Note: The Delay effect is not available for drum tracks (10, and any other track that uses a Drum Set) or track 13 (assigned to the VariPhrase part), while the M-FX is not supported at all.

Use the [REC] fields to specify whether or not these settings should be recorded.

20.Play a few notes on the keyboard to check whether you like your settings.

21.Use the [FFW ®®] or [√√ BWD] field to select the measure where you want to start recording.

For Punch In/Out recording, select a measure that lies a little before the place where you wish to punch in.

Recording in Erase or Merge mode

Press the [REC ●] and [PLAY ®] fields. After a 1- measure count-in, recording will begin.

Recording in Punch In/Out mode

•To record in Punch In/Out mode, first press the [REC ●] field (it starts flashing). Next, press [PLAY ®] to start playback.

As soon as the VA-76 reaches the point where you want to punch in, press [REC ●] to start recording. (The [REC ●] field is now displayed steadily.) You could also use a footswitch for doing so. See “Punch I/ O” on page 191.

22.To stop recording, press [STOP ■√].

During Punch In/Out recording, you could also press [REC ●] or the footswitch. In that case, recording is deactivated, while playback continues.
