Yamaha AW4416 manual Assign the signals to buses

Chapter5—Recording on the AW4416

Assign the signals to buses

When the AW4416 is in the initial state, bus outputs 1–8 of the mixer section are patched as follows to tracks 1–16 of the recorder. In our example here, we will assign the signal from the rhythm machine (or drum mics) input via input chan- nels 1/2 to buses 1/2 and send to them to tracks 1/2 of the recorder.

1.Press the [PAN] key → [F1] key.

The PAN/ROUTE screen Pan 1–16 page will appear. In this page you can assign input channels 1–16 to buses (stereo bus, buses 1–8) and make pan settings.

PAN knob

2.Use the CURSOR []/[]/[ ]/[ ] keys to move the cursor to the input channel 1 area. Turn the ST button off, and turn the bus assign 1/2 but- tons on.

With these settings, the signal of input channel 1 will not be sent to the stereo bus, but will be sent instead to buses 1–2. The ST button and bus assign 1/2 but- tons of input channel 2 (which is paired with input channel 1) will follow these settings.

Tip!

To switch an on-screen button on/off, move the cursor to the button and press the [ENTER] key.

3.Move the cursor to the PAN knob of input channel 1, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to set the pan to far left (L16).

The PAN knob sets the stereo position between the L/R channels of the stereo bus, and pans between odd-numbered buses and even-numbered buses of bus 1–8. In this example, the signal will be sent only to bus 1 if you rotate the PAN knob to the far left.
