Real tracks and Additional tracks
The FD-8 features eight Real tracks (1-8) and sixteen Additional tracks (9-24), for a total of twenty-four tracks.
Real tracks are used to record sound sources in real-time. Additional tracks are used to temporarily store the
sound recorded in the Real tracks. This is useful since you can move data from Real tracks to Additional
tracks to clear tracks for fresh recording. The Track Exchange function of the FD-8 handles this operation.
This function allows you to swap data freely between twenty-four mono tracks.
You can also swap data between multiple Real tracks and Additional tracks as an eight-track unit.
Real tracks (Trk 1 - Trk 8)
Additional tracks (Trk 9 - TRK 16)
Additional tracks (Trk 17 - Trk 24)
You can swap data between twenty-four mono tracks. You can also swap data between Real tracks and
Additional tracks in units of eight tracks.
Note: You cannot record data on Additional
tracks in real-time. Also, you cannot play back
data on Additional tracks as is in real-time.
If you wish to play back data on an Additional
track, first use the Track Exchange function to
move the data to a Real track. Also, you need to
move the data to a Real track if you wish to check
the REC END point of a song on an Additional
track.
Note: Data on the Additional tracks also affects
the REMAIN value. If Real tracks contain no data,
but Additional tracks contain data, the amount of
data (time and space) will be reflected in the
REMAIN value.
Refer to page 61 for more information on the Track
Exchange function.
