Adding the input signal to the mixdown

When performing mixdown, the input mixer can be used to add the signal from inputs 1/2.

1.Connect the master recorder to the MASTER [L]/[R] jacks and make

the necessary preparations for mixdown (➜ p. 18).

7.Use the [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys to adjust the parameter.

The left/right [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys serve for selecting the parameter and the up/down [PARAMETER/VALUE] keys for setting the value.

NOTE

•	When wishing to use the send/return effect,
	press the [SEND/RETURN] key to set it to ON,
	and then select the algorithm and parameter
	(➝ p. 21).
•	When a signal is sent from the input mixer to

2.Use the status keys 1 – 4 to select one of the two tracks you want to

link.

3.Use the left/right [PARAMETER/ VALUE] keys to call up the STL

the send/return effect, only the signal output

from the MASTER [L]/[R] jacks reflects the

effect. The effect has no influence on the signal

recorded on the track.

8.When preparations are complete, play the instrument and perform

mixdown.

The input 1/2 signal is mixed to the track 1 – 4 signal and sent to the master recorder. It is also possible to apply the mixdown effect to the mixed signal.

When status key 1 or 2 was pressed in step 2, tracks 1 and 2 are linked. When status key 3 or 4 was pressed, tracks 3 and 4 are linked. When two tracks are linked, the following applies.

HINT

•When when the insert effect is used, the basic signal flow for inputs 1/2 remains same.

•Depending on the selected insert effect algorithm, the level at input 1 and 2 may be watched simultaneously for operation in both channels, or inputs 1 and 2 may operate independently.

5. While the main screen is shown,

press the [TRACK PARAMETER]

key.

The track parameter menu for changing the settings for individual tracks appears.

6.Press the [ON/OFF] key 1 or 2 to select the input on which to operate.

Available parameters and their setting range are shown in the table below.

HINT

When bouncing the signal onto internal V-takes, the input signal can also be mixed in as described above.

Linking two tracks (stereo link function)

● When the stereo link is activated, the PAN

parameter is set to 0 for both tracks. The

values for all other track parameters

(except V-take selection) are copied from

the odd-numbered track to the even-

numbered track.

● When the parameter in one track is

changed, the parameter of the other track

also changes accordingly (except V-take

selection).

Input setting parameters and setting range

Parameter	Display	Setting range	Description
SEND/	SEND	ON/OFF	Determines whether input signal is routed to
RETURN			send/return effect.
		0～100	Adjusts signal level sent from input to send/return
SEND LEVEL	SLVL		effect. Appears only if SEND parameter is set to
			ON.
PAN		L50～0～R50	Adjusts panning (if only one input is active) or
	PAN		balance (if two inputs are active) for signal sent from
			input mixer to track and output.

This function allows you to link two tracks in the track mixer, so that their parameters (except the V-take selection) are adjusted in sync. This is convenient to control stereo material that was recorded on two tracks.

1.While the main screen is shown, press the [TRACK PARAMETER]

key.

The track parameter menu appears.

●	When the fader for the odd-numbered
	track is operated, the level in both tracks
	changes. (The fader of the even-numbered
	track is inactive.)
●	The PAN parameter operates as a
	BALANCE parameter that adjusts the
	level balance between the two (left and
	right) channels.

5.To cancel the stereo link, set the STL parameter to OFF.
