Chapter 5 Features Application
This section describes applications of the DIRECT RECORD feature.
DIRECT RECORD while listening to the input signal
DIRECT RECORD basically takes place with the play [TRACK] started for all the channel faders. However, it is also
possible to start [INPUT] signals A to H. Here we will DIRECT RECORD to tracks 1 to 16, while monitoring the
counter and listening to a rhythm machine (in this case, a drum machine) from input H.
Connecting the sound source
1. Connect the OUT of the drum machine to [INPUT] H.
2. Connect the sound sources to record to [INPUT] A to F.
Setting the input signal to INPUT H
1. Press the [INPUT SEL] key (ORANGE: Flashing).
2. Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch16 so it flashes
ORANGE (ch16-> INPUT).
3. Press the [EXIT/NO] key to return to the Normal Display.
4. Set the ch16 fader and master fader to "0".
5. Start the drum machine and then adjust the [TRIM] of 8/
16/H.
The input signals of [INPUT] H are output from the L/R
stereo OUT. Use the [MON OUT] knob or [PHONES] knob to
increase the volume to an appropriate level.
Setting the input signals to INPUT A to F
1. Press the [DIRECT-REC TRK] key, then choose a track
to record with the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key. (RED:
Flashing)
Press the [CH STATUS/CH SEL] key of ch1-ch 6 so tracks
1-6 will be READY.
2. Press the [EXIT/NO] key to return to the Normal Display.
3. Set ch1-ch6 faders to "0".
4. Press the [RECORD] key and then set the READY track
to input monitor (RED: Flashing).
By using the input monitor, it is possible to monitor the
sound sources of ch1-ch6 and the INPUT H signals, at the
same time. Set the PAN as desired so it is easy to monitor
the sound.
5. Adjust the [TRIM] of each channel while outputting the
sound source.
Set the input level of each sound source, then proceed to
the next REC process.
Record
1. To start recording, press the [PLAY] key while the
[RECORD] key is depressed.
Sounds are DIRECTLY RECORDED to tracks 1-6
according to the guidance sounds of input H.
<Caution>
• If the ch16 fader is set to “INPUT”,then track 16
cannot enter READY status which means recording will
not be possible. If, for example, all faders of ch9-ch16
are set to “INPUT”, then recording is no longer possible
on tracks 9-16. Note that this does not affect any
signal already recorded on tracks 9-16.
• The fader of ch16 merely adjusts the level of the H
[INPUT] signal sent to stereo OUT. Therefore, it does
not adjust the level of the signals recorded.
