However, each track can be patched internally to
take its input from any one of the eight inputs or
from any one of the other tape tracks. Note that in
the example below, it is possible for a track to act
as an input source to another track at the same
time that it is recording from an external input.
This allows great flexibility in dubbing situations.
Naturally since the DA-98 tracks are digital, there
is no loss of quality incurred when tracks are
transferred.

onto the track.

NOTE

“ping-pong”) using the Track Copy function. Combin-
ing of tracks must be carried out through an external

not a particularly meaningful process!
