want to listen to previously-recorded backing tracks while
you record a lead guitar performance.
1 Select the track that you want to record.
When you press the TRACK ASSIGN [1] or [2] key, the
key you pressed will light. Press one of the [PAN] knobs
to select the recording track. Raise the [TRACK] faders
of the tracks you want to hear play back as you record.
2 Adjust the recording level of the input source, and
press the [PLAY] key.
You can practice your performance while listening to the
previously-recorded tracks, just as if you were actually
recording. Adjust the level of your input source (instru-
ment), and practice playing and working out your musi-
cal ideas until you are ready to actually record.
If you can’t hear the input source, go to “SYSTEM” mode
and in “MixerSys,” press the CURSOR [
] key to turn
“AutoIn” Off. ( →p.57)
3 Start recording.
Press the [REC] key. When you’re ready, press the
[PLAY] key to begin recording. Press the [STOP] key
when you are done.
If you need to move to a different time location, use the
“LOCATE” mode.
Punch-in/out — re-recording a portion of a track
If you make a mistake in one part of your recorded perfor-
mance, or if you are not happy with a certain part of your
performance, you can re-record just a specific portion of
the track without having to re-record the entire track from
the beginning, or without having to play through to the
end of the track.
“Punch-in” is the action of switching the song from playback
mode to record mode, and “punch-out” is the action of
switching from record mode back to playback mode.
1 Adjust the recording level of the input source.
Refer to “1. Recording methods” steps 1–4.
2 Set the “AutoIn” parameter to “On.”
Use the [MODE] knob to select “SYSTEM” mode, and
use the [VALUE] dial to select “MixerSys.” Press the
CURSOR [
] key and use the [VALUE] dial to turn
the “AutoIn” parameter “On.” This will set the “auto-
matic input switching” monitor feature on.
When “AutoIn” is “Off,” you will always hear the input
sound of the track being recorded. If this is turned “On,” the
sound recorded on that track will play back during playback,
and during recording this will automatically switch to the
sound of the assigned input source. (

Turn the [MODE] knob to return to “LOCATE” mode.
3 Set the time to a location slightly earlier than the
point where you want to begin recording. ( →p.35)
4 Connect a pedal switch (PS-1, sold separately) to the
[PUNCH IN/OUT] jack.
If you don’t have a pedal switch, you can punch-in/out
manually; proceed to step 5.

You will be listening to the playback of the previously
recorded tracks, including the playback of the track
that you will be punch-recording.
6 Press the pedal switch at the point where you want
to start recording.
Recording will start (manual punch-in). Now you will
