Basic operation of the input mixer

Assigning input signals to recording tracks

HINT

•If two inputs are already selected and another [ON/OFF] key is pressed, the currently selected keys go out and the last pressed key is active.

•Normally, only up to two tracks can be recorded simultaneously. By activating the 6TR REC mode (→ p. 47), the signal from six inputs can be recorded on six tracks simultaneously.

This section explains how to adjust the level of signals input from the INPUT 1 - 6 jacks and the GUITAR/BASS INPUT 1 - 2 jacks, and how to send them to a track in the recorder section.

1. Make sure that the instrument or mic that you want to record is connected to the INPUT 1 - 6 or the GUITAR/BASS INPUT 1 - 2 jacks.

NOTE

•When something is connected to both the GUITAR/BASS 1 jack on the front panel and INPUT 1 jack on the rear panel, or the GUITAR/BASS 2 jack on the front panel and INPUT 2 jack on the rear panel, the front panel jack has priority.

•Among balanced and unbalanced connectors on the rear panel, the unbalanced jack (phone jack marked UNBAL- ANCE) has priority.

2. Press the [ON/OFF] key of the input to which the

instrument or microphone is connected, so that

the key lights up.

The [ON/OFF] key serves to activate and deactivate an input. While the key is lit, the input is active.

Normally, up to two keys can be activated simultaneously. To activate two inputs, press both [ON/OFF] keys together.

3. While playing your instrument, turn the INPUTcontrol for the input selected in step 2, to adjustthe input sensitivity.

Make adjustments so that the [PEAK] indicator flickers

slightly when you play your instrument at its loudest

volume.

4. If you will be recording the sound through the insert effect, press the [INPUT SOURCE] key in the effect section and turn the dial to set the insert position for the effect to IN.

With the default settings of a project, the insert effect is inserted into the input mixer (IN), and a patch suitable for guitar/bass recording is selected.

•If you want to record without sending the sound through the insert effect, press the [BYPASS] key in the effect section to bypass the insert effect.

•The [ON/OFF] key illumination of inputs for which the insert effect is selected changes from red to orange.
