This selects the TRACK 1-12 mixing layer so you can
use [ON] keys 1–12, [SEL] keys 1–12, and faders 1–

nation track(s).

You can select up to four tracks for recording. Bus1 L
and Bus2 L can be assigned to odd-numbered tracks,
while Bus1 R and Bus2 R can be assigned to even-
numbered tracks. The [SEL] keys of track channels to
which buses have been assigned will flash red and the
record-ready mode will be engaged.
For example, the display will change as shown when
the track channel 1 [SEL] key is pressed repeatedly.

To set the level and pan for input channels

1–8 press the Layer section [IN 1-8] key so

that its indicator lights.

If multiple input channels are patched to the same bus
the individual level and pan settings for each input
cannot be changed after recording. For this reason it is
necessary to set up the individual channel levels and
pan applied to Bus1/Bus2 as required before record-
ing.

●To Adjust Volume/Balance

Set the input channel 1–8 faders as required.

●To Adjust Pan

After pressing the [SEL] key of the corresponding
input channel press the Selected Channel section
[PAN/EQ] key so that its indicator lights. Selected
Channel knob 1 can now be used to adjust panning for

p. 58) are selected as the record desti-
nation the pan settings of the odd- and even-numbered tracks
will automatically be set to left and right, respectively, allowing

• 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.
NOTE
• When the outputs from multiple channels are mixed and
recorded it may be necessary to adjust the input channel fad-
ers to prevent the combined signal level from getting too high.
•We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to adjust
the volume balance of the input channels. This will degrade
the S/N ratio, and may cause the sound to distort.
•To hear the input channel pan settings via the monitor system
the track channels corresponding to the two record-destina-
tion tracks should be assigned as a pair.
