Recording a synchronized performance
You may want to record your MIDI instrument(s) while they are synchronized with the FSK signal
recorded on track 4. The procedure is similar to the previous section (see "Overdubbing with a
synchronized performance" on page 36).
Note: If the MIDI instrument does not play correctly, you probably started the tape at a point after the
FSK signal began. You must ensure the tape plays back from before the start of the FSK track.
