Instructions for recording with BUSS RECORD
This section will discuss the basic procedures to REC/PLAY with "BUSS" RECORD, which is another recording option.
With DIRECT RECORD, the track recorded was determined according to the input of channel A to H. However,
with BUSS RECORD, recording is possible regardless of the channel input. It is also possible to record the input
of all 8 channels on 2 tracks with BUSS RECORD. Since the recording process takes place via the mixer, it is pos-
sible to apply equalizer and effect sound to the recording.
Note that BUSS RECORD takes place using the REC exclusive "REC BUSS". This "REC BUSS" consists of 2 channels,
L and R, therefore, a maximum of 2 tracks can be recorded at the same time.
Description of BUSS RECORD
BUSS RECORD takes place by sending signals processed through the mixer to the "REC BUSS" for recording. Therefore,
signals applied with equalization and built-in effect can be recorded (added and recorded). Here, we will use the channel
(ORANGE) with an [INPUT] started with the fader as the source channel. However, channels (GREEN) in which [TRACKS]
are started can also be used as a source channel. Ping-pong recording is possible for the source channel recording with
the [TRACK] started channel (GREEN). Note the following precautions for BUSS recording.
WARNING!
Of the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch9-16, a channel with an "INPUT" which is lit up ORANGE, cannot output sound
of the tracks corresponding to ch9 to16, so it is not possible to go to the READY state using the [BUSS-REC TRK] key.
WARNING!
Precautions for when selecting a source channel with the [BUSS-SOURCE] key. (when key is flashing in GREEN)
* A channel in which the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key light is OFF is selectable.
* The channel selected will either have a flashing ORANGE or GREEN [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key.
* The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key that is flashing RED is a READY channel (track) and cannot be selected.
WARNING!
Precautions when selecting a REC track with the [BUSS-REC TRK] key. (key is flashing RED)
* A channel in which the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key light is OFF is selectable.
* The channel selected has a flashing RED [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key.
* The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key that is flashing ORANGE or GREEN is selected as a source channel, therefore, it
cannot be selected.
Recording the H Input Signal to Track 1
Here we will record a sound source connected to input H on track 1 of the recorder. Beforehand, set the ch1 to
16 channel faders, master fader and the [TRIM] for A to H to 0. Connect a headphone or speaker to monitor the
sound.
Channel Selection
1. Connect the sound source to record to [INPUT] jack H.
2. Press the [INPUT SEL] key (ORANGE: Flashing).
3. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key for ch16 so the key
starts "flashing ORANGE (=INPUT)".
The following display appears, and the signals of input H
will start for channel 16.
