as a bounce-source, press the [SEL] key of
that effect return channel.
In the same way as for PLAY TRACK in step 3, you
can repeatedly press the [SEL] key to select the bus to
which the signal is sent.
5In the RECORD TRACK area, select a
bounce-destination track, move the cursor
to the symbol for that track, and press
the [ENTER] key.
You can select up to four bounce-destination tracks.
The odd-numbered tracks can be connected to Bus1 L
or Bus2 L, and the even-numbered tracks can be con-
nected to Bus1 R or Bus2 R. The [SEL] key will blink
red, indicates that the corresponding track is selected
as the bounce-destination.
In the same way as for the PLAY TRACK, you can
repeatedly press the [ENTER] key to select the signal
of the desired input bus.
For example if you move the cursor to the symbol
for RECORD TRACK 1 and repeatedly press the
[ENTER] key, the screen will change as follows.
6Raise the [STEREO] fader and the faders of
the track channel(s) you selected as the
bounce-destination to the 0 dB position.
7Press the RTZ [ ] key to rewind the song.
Then hold down the REC [●] key and press
the PLAY [ ] key.
The song will begin playing back, and will be
recorded on the bounce-destination track(s).
8While you record the song, raise the faders
of the bounce-source track channels and
effect return channels to an appropriate
level. Adjust the pan, EQ, and dynamics of
each channel as necessary.
9To check the level that is being output from
Bus 1/Bus 2 to the bounce-destination
tracks, press the [METER] key and then the
[F3] key.
The METER screen Master page will appear.
Here you can check the output levels for Bus 1 and
Bus 2.
