If you want to record without sending the sound through the
insert effect, press the [BYPASS] key from the main screen.
This will bypass the insert effect. When you press the [BY-
PASS] key once again it will go out, and bypass will be dis-
abled.
3.3 Selecting a track and recording
Now we will record the sound (with the insert effect applied)
on a track.
1.
If necessary, readjust the recording level with the
[REC LEVEL] control while playing your
instrument.
By default, the insert effect is inserted before the [REC
LEVEL] control. For this reason, the recording level may
change if you change the insert effect patch.
2.
With the recorder stopped, repeatedly press the
status key for the chosen track (1 - 8, 9/10) so that
the key lights up in red.
Status keys 1 - 8 and 9/10 are used to switch channel-muting
on/off and to select the recording track. Each time you press
a status key, the key will cycle through the following states:
Lit green (mute off)
Out (mute on)
Lit red (selected as the recording track)
When the status key is red, the input signal routing will
change as follows.
If you want to record a stereo source, select the recording
tracks by one of the following methods.
Recording on stereo tracks (tracks 9/10)
Press the status key for tracks 9/10) until the key is lit in red.
The signal from the jack with the lower number is recorded
on track 9, and the other signal on track 10.
Stereo recording on tracks 1 - 8
Press the status keys for tracks 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8
simultaneously until the keys are lit in red. The signal from
the jack with the lower number is recorded on the odd-
numbered track and the other signal on the even-numbered
track.
Mono recording on tracks 1 - 8
Press the status key for one of tracks 1 - 8 until the key is lit
in red. The stereo channels are mixed and recorded on this
single track.
HINT
Normally, only two mono tracks or one stereo track can be
recorded simultaneously. By activating the 6TR REC mode,
the signal from INPUTS 1 - 6 can be recorded on six tracks
simultaneously. For details, see page 47.
