Multi-Source Mixing

The mixer section of the MT400 enables you to control input signals and tape playback signals

simultaneously. For example, you can mix external sound sources with tape tracks. This

technique is useful when you wish to add pad or decorative notes to the introductory part of a

completed song. This section explains how to mix the sound sources connected to MIC/LINE

INPUTs 1 and 2 in addition to the tape tracks.

1Connect the sound sources to MIC/LINE

INPUTs 1 and 2.

2Set the [INPUT-FLIP] switches on Input

Channel 1–4 to “TAPE ( )”.

With the [INPUT-FLIP] switches set to “TAPE ( )”,

the MIC/LINE INPUT signals are sent to the Stereo

bus as follows.

MIC/LINE INPUTs 1 and 3

Sent to the L channel of the Stereo bus.

MIC/LINE INPUTs 2 and 4

Sent to the R channel of the Stereo bus.

3Set the monitor select switch to “STEREO”.
4Set the [METER SELECT] switch to “STEREO”.
5Play the sound sources connected to MIC/

LINE INPUTS 1 and 2, and adjust the input

levels with the CUE controls on Input

Channels 1 and 2.

When the [INPUT-FLIP] switch is set to “TAPE ( )”,

use the corresponding CUE controls to adjust the level

of the signals input at MIC/LINE INPUTs.
