PORTASTUDIO 414 MKII Brief Guide

Recorder Controls

Connections on the Rear Panel

Meters : The meters numbered 1-4 show the playback or the record level of the respective tape tracks. The average record level should be in the center (0), but occasional peaks up to +6 are acceptable.

ZERO RETURN : When this switch is on and you press REW, the tape fast winds to the counter zero point. The associated LED blinks when the tape is rewinding, and glows solid when the 000 point is reached.

DBX switch : Normally, leave this switch at ON. When you use track 4 to record and play back MIDI sync tones or time code, set to SYNC then the dbx is on for tracks 1-3, and off on track 4.

Tape counter : Shows the distance the tape has moved from a zero reference point.

Counter reset button : Press to change the counter to "000".

PITCH CONTROL : Increases or decreases the speed of the transport in Play and also in Record, over a 10% range (approx.).

SUB IN L and R : Provide a direct route to the MASTER fader. An outboard mixer may be connected here. The SUB IN R jack is also used to record sync tones on track 4.

SYNC OUT : Sync tones you'll record on track 4 are sent out of this jack to the TASCAM MTS-30 MIDI/Tape synchro- nizer or other similar units.

LINE OUT L and R : Normally, connect these jacks to the Left and Right inputs of your mixdown deck.

MON OUT L and R : These are connected to an amplifier powering the control room speakers.

EFFECT 1 SEND : For sending post chan- nel fader signals to effects devices. The returns are plugged into the STEREO INPUTS.

EFFECT 2 SEND/TAPE CUE OUT : The signal available at this jack comes either from post channel fader for connection to an additional effects device or from the tape for connection to a studio speaker system, as selected by means of the EFFECT 2/TAPE CUE switch.

On the front

PHONES : This carries the same mix as the MON OUT jacks, as selected by the MONITOR switches.

REMOTE PUNCH IN/OUT : Connect to this jack the optional

RC- 30P footswitch.

Transport keys :

Principally these work the same as on any cassette recorder.

RECORD FUNCTION 1-4 : Used to select tracks to record on, and also recording sources (channels or stereo busses).
