Synchronized Mixdown

After synchronized recording with the MT400 and the MIDI sequencer, you can mix the tape

tracks with the MIDI performance data and record them onto the master recorder. This

section explains how to mix tape Tracks 1–3 with the MIDI sound sources connected at MIC/

LINE INPUTs 1–4.

1Connect the MIDI sound sources to MIC/

LINE INPUTs 1–4.

You may use STEREO INPUTs 5L/6R or 7L/8R, if

necessary.

2Set the [INPUT-FLIP] switch on Input
Channels 1–4 to “TAPE ( )”.

Tape Tracks 1–4 are sent to the STEREO bus via the

input channels. Input signals at MIC/LINE INPUTs 1

and 3 and STEREO INPUT 5L or 7L are routed to the

L channel of the Stereo bus, and input signals at MIC/

LINE INPUTs 2 and 4 and STEREO INPUT 6R or 8R

are routed to the R channel of the Stereo bus.

3Set the monitor select switch to “STEREO”.
4Set the [METER SELECT] switch to “STEREO”.
5Make sure that the [dbx] switch is set to

“SYNC”.

6Set up the MIDI sequencer so that it will lock

to external MTC or MIDI Clock.

7Raise the STEREO fader to the 7–8 mark.
8Press the [PLAY] button to play back the tape.

The MIDI sequencer should synchronize and the

MIDI performance data should start playing along

with the MT400.

9Use the faders, PAN controls, and EQ controls

on Input Channels 1–3 to adjust the volume

level, pan, and tonal quality of Tracks 1–3.

Use the CUE controls on Input Channels 1–4

to adjust the volume level of the MIDI

performance data.

At this time, make sure that the fader on Input

Channel 4 is lowered to the 0 mark.

0Start recording on the master recorder, and

start playback from the beginning of the

song on the MT400.

After recording, play the master recorder to listen to

the mixdown.
