Combining multiple tracks (Bounce function)

Combining multiple tracks (Bounce function)

"Bounce" is a function that mixes the performances of the recorder section and rhythm section (drum kit + bass program), and records them on one or two tracks. (This is sometimes called "ping-pong recording.") As an example, we will explain how recorder tracks 1 – 8 and the rhythm section can be mixed in stereo, and recorded on tracks 9/10.

Executing bounce recording

1.Press the status key of the bounce-destination track (9/10) to make the key light red.

A maximum of two mono tracks or one stereo track can be

selected as the bounce-destination.

2.Press the [BOUNCE] key.

The [BOUNCE] key will light, and the Bounce function

will be turned on.

3.Press the PLAY [R] key to play back the song, and adjust the mix balance of each track.

While watching the L/R level meters, adjust the DRUM, BASS, 1 – 6, and 7/8 channel faders and the MASTER faders so that the L/R level meters do not clip.

When the Bounce function is on, the signal that passes through the MASTER fader will be output from the [OUTPUT] jacks, and at the same time will be sent to the bounce-destination track(s). Even if you are using the insert effect or a send/return effect, the sound with the effect(s) applied will be recorded on the bounce-destination track(s).

HINT

•If you turn the INPUT 1/2 [ON/OFF] keys on, you can mix the input signals from the [INPUT 1] and [INPUT 2] jacks into the bounce recording.

•If you select only one mono track as the bounce-

destination, the signal mixed to mono will be recorded.

•If necessary, you can play back all ten tracks, and bounce them to the desired one or two tracks. For details refer to the section that follows.

4.Press the STOP [P] key.

5.Press the ZERO [U] key to return to the beginning of the song, and then hold down the REC [O] key and press the PLAY [R] key.

Recording on track 9/10 will begin.

6.When you have finished recording, press the STOP [P] key.

The Bounce function will be turned off.

Making settings for the Bounce function

You can change the settings of the Bounce function if

necessary.

■Specifying playback/mute for the recording track(s)

By default, the bounce-destination recording track(s) will be muted. If you want to play back all ten tracks simultaneously while you bounce-record, use the following procedure to change the internal setting so that the recording track(s) will also play back.

1.In the main screen, press the [PROJECT/UTILITY] key.

The display will indicate "PROJECT."

2.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display read "UTILITY BOUNCE," and press the [ENTER] key.

3.Use the cursor [E]/[R] keys to make the display read "BOUNCE REC TR," and press the [ENTER] key.

The current setting will be displayed.

•MUTE : The recording track(s) will be muted (default setting).

•PLAY : The recording track(s) will play back.

4.Turn the dial to change the setting to "PLAY."
