Here’s how to bounce (ping-pong) multiple tracks down to one to four tracks.

1Lower the [STEREO] fader to the – ∞ posi-
tion.
2Call the RECORD screen Bounce page by
either pressing the Quick Navigate section
[RECORD] key as many times as necessary,
or by pressing the [F3] key after pressing
the [RECORD] key.
In the Bounce page you can select the bounce-source
tracks, and then record them via bus 1 or bus 2 onto
one to four tracks.

BBus 1, Bus 2
The four horizontal lines indicate the Bus1 L/R and
Bus2 L/R signal route. This lets you see the on/off sta-
tus of the signals that are sent from the bounce-source
tracks, and see the selected bounce-destination
track(s).
CRETURN
Selects the bounce-source effect return channels.
DRECORD TRACK
Here you can select the bounce-destination track(s).
EPITCH FIX button
Position the cursor at this button and press [ENTER]
to engage the PITCH FIX mode. Use PITCH FIX to
correct the pitch and other properties of a vocal track
(→ p. 124).
FMUTE CLEAR button
This button clears the mute status of all tracks.
However depending on the bit depth of the song and
on the number of tracks that are enabled for recording,
there may be cases in which some tracks cannot be
unmuted. If so, tracks will be muted consecutively
starting with the last-numbered track.
GSAFE button
When you move the cursor to this button and press the
[ENTER] key, all bounce-source and bounce-destina-
tion assignments will be cancelled. This will also exe-
cute the MUTE CLEAR (F) operation.
3In the PLAY TRACK area, select a bounce-
source track, move the cursor to the
symbol for that track, and press the
[ENTER] key.
Each time you press the [ENTER] key, the screen will
