Ping-Pong RECORD
By using BUSS RECORD, it is possible to select a maximum of 15 source channels when recording to 1 track and
a maximum of 14 source channels when recording to 2 tracks. Here we will ping-pong record the sound recorded
on tracks 1-14 onto tracks 15 and 16 for temporary mix down. Ping-pong RECORD refers to the process in which
the sound of several tracks are mixed and then recorded on another track.
Preparations to record
1. Press the [INPUT SEL] key (ORANGE: Flashing).
The display to select “INPUT” - “TRACK” appears.
2. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch9-ch16 so it
flashes GREEN (= “TRACK”).
3. Press the [BUSS SOURCE] key (GREEN: Flashing).
The display to select the source channel appears.
4. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch1-ch14.
Ch1-8 and ch9-14 are set to the source channel.
5. Press the [BUSS-REC TRK] key (RED: Flashing).
The display to select the REC track appears.
6. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch15 and ch16
(RED: Flashing).
Tracks 15 and 16 are set to the READY track.
7. Press the [EXIT/NO] key to return to the Normal Display.
8. Press the [RECORD] key to go to the input monitor (RED:
Flashing).
9. Set the ch15/16 fader and PAN that is used to monitor the
REC track.
Set the ch15 PAN to the LEFT (L) and ch16 PAN to the
RIGHT (R). The position of the recorded signal can be
checked.
10. Adjust the faders, PAN, equalizer and effect of each
source channel (ch1-14 and ch9-12).
The sound is recorded on track 15 by setting the source
channel PAN to the LEFT.
The sound is recorded on track 16 by setting the source
channel PAN to the RIGHT.
The sound is recorded on both tracks by setting the source
channel PAN to the CENTER.

[RECORD] key is depressed.
How to adjust the REC BUSS Master Level
To adjust the REC BUSS Master Level, press the [BUSS-REC
TRK] key then use the [JOG] dial while the following dis-
play is shown. The default setting of the REC BUSS Mas-
ter Level is set to "80". However, this can be set to a
voluntary REC BUSS Master Level with the [JOG] dial.
After adjusting the level, press the [EXIT/NO] key.
The Normal Display appears. The master level while re-
cording appears on the level meter shown on the display
below.
