REC (LED lit red), and will be recorded together
with the other playback tracks.

Select the recording destination virtual track.
Select the virtual track of the recording track
selected by the [TRACK STATUS] key on which

“Current,” you can combine tracks 1–12 into two
tracks without erasing any of the tracks 1–12.
Current: The currently selected track
a…h: The specified virtual track
However if the same virtual track is selected both
here and for [TRACK] “Vtr1–6” or “Vtr7–12” tab
page the result will be the same as if “Current” were
selected.
To avoid accidentally recording a track that has
already been recorded, use the [TRACK] “Vtr1–
6” and “Vtr7–12” tab pages to see which virtual
tracks are currently selected and which contain
data.
