Synchronized Mixdown
After synchronized recording with the MT400 and the MIDI sequencer, you can mix the tape
tracks with the MIDI performance data and record them onto the master recorder. This
section explains how to mix tape Tracks 1–3 with the MIDI sound sources connected at MIC/
LINE INPUTs 1–4.
1 Connect the MIDI sound sources to MIC/
LINE INPUTs 1–4.
You may use STEREO INPUTs 5L/6R or 7L/8R, if
necessary.
2 Set the [INPUT-FLIP] switch on Input
Channels 1–4 to “TAPE ( )”.
Tape Tracks 1–4 are sent to the STEREO bus via the
input channels. Input signals at MIC/LINE INPUTs 1
and 3 and STEREO INPUT 5L or 7L are routed to the
L channel of the Stereo bus, and input signals at MIC/
LINE INPUTs 2 and 4 and STEREO INPUT 6R or 8R
are routed to the R channel of the Stereo bus.
3 Set the monitor select switch to “STEREO”.
4 Set the [METER SELECT] switch to “STEREO”.
5 Make sure that the [dbx] switch is set to
“SYNC”.
6 Set up the MIDI sequencer so that it will lock
to external MTC or MIDI Clock.
7 Raise the STEREO fader to the 7–8 mark.
8 Press the [PLAY] button to play back the tape.
The MIDI sequencer should synchronize and the
MIDI performance data should start playing along
with the MT400.
9 Use the faders, PAN controls, and EQ controls
on Input Channels 1–3 to adjust the volume
level, pan, and tonal quality of Tracks 1–3.
Use the CUE controls on Input Channels 1–4
to adjust the volume level of the MIDI
performance data.
At this time, make sure that the fader on Input
Channel 4 is lowered to the 0 mark.
0 Start recording on the master recorder, and
start playback from the beginning of the
song on the MT400.
After recording, play the master recorder to listen to
the mixdown.
