“InsEff1,” and “InsEff2” tab pages.
For details, refer to “4. Make insert effect settings” (p.24).
Check the recording mode
If you have already checked the recording mode, there’s no need to check
it again; if so, proceed to the next step.
1. Access the [RECORD] “RecMode” tab page, and make sure that
“Select RecMode” is set to “Input.”
Select a virtual track
1. Press the [TRACK] key to access the [TRACK] “Vtr 1–8” tab page.
2. In the top line of the screen, press a virtual track number (“4a” in the
example shown here), and turn the [VALUE] dial to select “4b”.
The selected virtual track and the already-recorded virtual tracks are
highlighted. For details, refer to “2. Recording on virtual tracks”
(p.40).
When you turn on the power, virtual tracks “1a,” “2a,” “3a”... are
selected automatically. In other words if you record a track without
selecting a virtual track, recording will occur on “1a,” “2a,” “3a”...
etc.
Record

At the beginning of the song, the counter value will be “001.01.000”

on virtual track “4b”.
3. When you have finished recording, press the [STOP] key.
