Input monitoring and playback monitoring
There are two methods for monitoring track sound (only on the Real tracks): input monitoring and
playback monitoring. They are defined as follows:
Input monitoring
Input monitoring means to listen to what is being input to the recorder so that you can verify sound
quality and etc. Either one of the following procedure is used to input monitor any Real Track or all
Real Tracks.
• Entering any Real Track to input monitoring
To enter any desired track for Input Monitoring, press the desired RECORD TRACK select key to enter it in the READY
mode and then press the RECORD button. If the RECORD button is pressed again, the recorder will enter the repro
mode. The recorder will enter record standby mode and the READY track only will be Input Monitoring.
The recording level can now be adjusted.
• Entering all Real Tracks to input monitoring
To enter all Real Tracks to input monitoring, press the TRACK SHIFT key while holding down the SHIFT key.
Unlike the previous case of selecting any desired track, Real Tracks can all be input monitored even though the
RECORD button is not pressed. After adjusting the recording level, to simultaneously start recording all tracks, enter
all tracks in the READY mode by pressing the RECORD button while holding down the SHIFT key.
• Entering a track set to Input Monitoring to “recording mode”
To enter the recording mode with any desired track or all tracks in the READY state, press the PLAY button while
holding down the RECORD button. READY tracks will enter the recording mode, the READY track LED change to
constant light and the RECORD LED will be lit. Simultaneous with entering the recording mode, READY tracks will be
input monitoring and recording can be done while monitoring the recording sound at the recorder output.
This example shows overdubbing in which
the keyboard is recorded on track 5 while
tracks 1-4 are being played. Tracks 1-4 are
in Playback Monitoring mode and used to
check the playback sound. Track 5 is in
Input Monitoring mode. You can monitor
the recorded sound.
* The following example shows track 5 in Input Monitoring mode and other tracks in Playback Monitoring mode.
Playback monitoring
“Playback monitoring” means to monitor the playback sound of the tracks (only Real tracks).
That is, you are monitoring the playback sound on the track, not the sound being recorded to the
track.
* The following example shows that all tracks are in Playback Monitoring mode.
In this example, all tracks 1-8 are playing
the recorded sound in Playback Monitoring
mode.
* To play the sound on an Additional track, you need to move the data from the Additional track to a
Real track. Refer to “Track Exchange function” on page “ 72 ” for more information.
