This section will discuss the basic procedures to REC/PLAY with "BUSS" RECORD, which is another recording option.
With DIRECT RECORD, the track recorded was determined according to the input of channel A to H. However, with
BUSS RECORD, recording is possible regardless of the channel input. It is also possible to record the input
of all 8 channels on 2 tracks with BUSS RECORD. Since the recording process takes place via the mixer, it is possible
to apply equalizer and effect sound to the recording.
Note that BUSS RECORD takes place using the REC exclusive "REC BUSS". This "REC BUSS" consists of 2 channels, L
and R, therefore, a maximum of 2 tracks can be recorded at the same time.
Description of BUSS RECORD
BUSS RECORD takes place by sending signals processed
through the mixer to the "REC BUSS" for recording.
Therefore, signals applied with equalization and built-
in effect can be recorded (added and recorded).
Here, we will use the channel (ORANGE) with an [IN-
PUT] started with the fader as the source channel.
However, channels (GREEN) in which [TRACKS] are
started can also be used as a source channel. Ping-pong
recording is possible for the source channel recording
with the [TRACK] started channel (GREEN).
Note the following precautions for BUSS recording.
WARNING!
Of the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch9-16, a channel with an " IN (Input)" which is lit up ORANGE, cannot
output sound of the tracks corresponding to ch9 to16, so it is not possible to go to the READY state using
the
[BUSS-REC TRK] key.
WARNING!
Precautions for when selecting a source channel with the [BUSS-SOURCE] key. (when key is flashing in
GREEN)
• A channel in which the
[CH STATUS/CH SEL] key light is OFF is selectable.
• The channel selected will either have a flashing ORANGE or GREEN [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key.
• The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key that is flashing RED is a READY channel (track) and cannot be selected.
WARNING!
Precautions when selecting a REC track with the [BUSS-REC TRK] key. (key is flashing RED)
• A channel in which the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key light is OFF is selectable.
• The channel selected has a flashing RED [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key.
• The [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key that is flashing ORANGE or GREEN is selected as a source channel,
therefore, it cannot be selected.
