<Note>:
You can apply the amp simulation
as insert effects when the [
INPUT A SELECT
]
switch is set to "
GTR DIST
" (see page 58).
<Note>:
If you connect a condenser micro-
phone to the [
BAL
] XLR connector of the [
IN-
PUT C
] channel, you can supply the phan-
tom power to the microphone (see page
128).
2) Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "GTR DIST".
You can add distortion of the internal effects
to your guitar sound.
3) Press the [REC SELECT] key for tracks 1 through
4.
Tracks 1 through 4 are record armed and the
[REC SELECT] keys for tracks 1 through 4 start
flashing.
On the home screen, track numbers "1"
through "4" changes to "A" through "D"
respectively, showing that each input is
assigned to the appropriate track.
The remaining time of the hard disk is shown.
4) Set the track faders 1 through 4 and [MASTER]
fader to the nominal position (marked by
).
Raising these faders allows you to monitor the
input sound. If these faders are not raised, you
cannot monitor the sound via headphones.
