•You can also select the record-source input channel by pressing an [INPUT SEL] key (or the [SEL] key of an input channel).

•The [INPUT SEL] keys always control input channels 1–8, regardless of the settings of the Layer section

4 Move the cursor to the symbol for the recording-destination track, and press the [ENTER] key.

The selected input channel and track will be internally connected.

At this time, the connected [INPUT SEL] key (or the input channel’s [SEL] key) and the track channel’s [SEL] key will change to blinking red.

The blinking track channel [SEL] key indicates that the corresponding track is in record-ready mode.

For example if input channel 1 and track 1 are con- nected, the top panel keys will be as follows.

•You can also select the record-destina- tion track by pressing a track channel’s [SEL] key.

•The same internal connection will be established even if you perform steps 3 and 4 in the reverse order.

•The fader will automatically be set to 0 dB for input channels that are internally connected to a track.

•If an input channel is selected as a recording-source, its assignment to the stereo bus will automatically be turned off. If you want to monitor the signal you’re recording, you’ll need to raise the fader of the recording-destination track channel.

•EQ and dynamics settings will be set to a flat state for track channels corresponding to tracks selected as recording-desti- nations.

NOTE

•Input channels and tracks are always connected one-to-one.

•The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as (mute), but you can still record to muted tracks.

•Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 12 play tracks (→ p. 165), tracks 13–24 are muted and will not play back.

5 If you want to record multiple instruments or mics simultaneously, assign other input channels to other tracks in the same way.

HINT

•To cancel a connection you established, simply repeat the same operation you did when establishing the connection.

•To change a recording-destination (track) that you’ve already connected, move the cursor to the recording-source and press the [ENTER] key; then move the cursor to a different track and press the [ENTER] key.

•To change a recording-source (input channel) that you’ve already connected, move the cursor to the recording-destina- tion and press the [ENTER] key; then move the cursor to a different input channel and press the [ENTER] key.

•To cancel all connections, move the cursor to the SAFE but- ton and press the [ENTER] key.

•If a recording-source input channel and the recording-destina- tion track are both paired, two adjacent odd-numbered/even- numbered channels will be assigned to two adjacent odd- numbered/even-numbered tracks.

6 If you want to connect a set of eight input channels and eight tracks in a single opera- tion, turn the MULTI CONNECTION ON/OFF button on.

For example if the MULTI CONNECTION ON/OFF button is on, and you select any one of input channels 1–8 as a recording-source and any one of tracks 1–8 as a recording-destination, the following popup window will appear.

Move the cursor to the YES button and press the [ENTER] key to execute the connection; input chan- nels 1–8 will be connected to tracks 1–8. Move the cursor to the NO button and press the [ENTER] key to connect the selected input channel and track.
