RECORDER IN jacks for mixdown. (The L/R+MON signals
include the playback signals from tracks 1-8 and eight
MIDI sound sources.)

Mixing down while syncing MIDI sound sources
When you finish overdubbing, proceed to mixdown. As shown in the diagram, use the connected MIDI sound
sources as virtual tracks, synchronize them to the FD-8, and mix down digital signals while applying effects.
6. Use the input channel faders and the PAN knobs to
adjust the playback levels and stereo image of
tracks 1-8.
Turn the MON knob in the MON mix section of the
corresponding channels toward [INPUT] to adjust the
input level of the MIDI sound sources, and use the MON
PAN knob to adjust the stereo image.
7. Use the MASTER knob in the monitor section to
adjust the final output level for mixdown.
8. If you wish to apply effects to a track, turn the AUX
knob and AUX RTN knob of the corresponding
channel to adjust the effect amount and balance.
