For details, refer to “4. Make insert effect settings” (→p.24).

Check the recording mode

If you have already checked the recording mode, there’s no need to check
it again; if so, proceed to the next step.

1. Access the [RECORD] “RecMode” tab page, and make sure that

“Select RecMode” is set to “Input.”

Select a virtual track

1. Press the [TRACK] key to access the [TRACK] “Vtr 1–8” tab page.

2. In the top line of the screen, press a virtual track number (“4a” in the

example shown here), and turn the [VALUE] dial to select “4b”.

The selected virtual track and the already-recorded virtual tracks are
highlighted. For details, refer to “2. Recording on virtual tracks”
(→p.40).

When you turn on the power, virtual tracks “1a,” “2a,” “3a”... are
selected automatically. In other words if you record a track without
selecting a virtual track, recording will occur on “1a,” “2a,” “3a”...
etc.

Record

on virtual track “4b”.

3. When you have finished recording, press the [STOP] key.

4. Select another virtual track as described in “Select a virtual track”

(above), and continue recording additional takes on other virtual
