Combining multiple tracks
(Bounce function)
"Bounce" is a function that mixes the performances of the
recorder section and rhythm section (drum kit + bass
program), and records them on one or two tracks. (This is
sometimes called "ping-pong recording.") As an example,
we will explain how recorder tracks 1 – 8 and the rhythm
section can be mixed in stereo, and recorded on tracks 9/10.
1.
Press the status key of the bounce-destination
track (9/10) to make the key light red.
A maximum of two mono tracks or one stereo track can be
selected as the bounce-destination.
2.
Press the [BOUNCE] key.
The [BOUNCE] key will light, and the Bounce function
will be turned on.
3.
Press the PLAY [
R
] key to play back the song, and
adjust the mix balance of each track.
While watching the L/R level meters, adjust the DRUM,
BASS, 1 – 6, and 7/8 channel faders and the MASTER
faders so that the L/R level meters do not clip.
When the Bounce function is on, the signal that passes
through the MASTER fader will be output from the
[OUTPUT] jacks, and at the same time will be sent to the
bounce-destination track(s). Even if you are using the
insert effect or a send/return effect, the sound with the
effect(s) applied will be recorded on the bounce-destination
track(s).
If you turn the INPUT 1/2 [ON/OFF] keys on, you can mix
the input signals from the [INPUT 1] and [INPUT 2] jacks
into the bounce recording.
If you select only one mono track as the bounce-
destination, the signal mixed to mono will be recorded.
If necessary, you can play back all ten tracks, and
bounce them to the desired one or two tracks. For details
refer to the section that follows.

P
] key.
5.
Press the ZERO [
U
] key to return to the beginning
of the song, and then hold down the REC [
O
] key
and press the PLAY [
R
] key.
Recording on track 9/10 will begin.

When you have finished recording, press the STOP
[
P
] key.
The Bounce function will be turned off.
You can change the settings of the Bounce function if
necessary.

while you bounce-record, use the following procedure to
