Using V-takes
Each track 1 – 10 of the recorder contains ten virtual
tracks, called "V-takes." For each track, you can select one
take, which will be used for recording and playback. For
example, you can switch V-takes as you record multiple
vocal or guitar solos on the same track, and later compare
them and select the best V-take.
Here's how to switch the V-take used by each track 1 – 10.
Even for the stereo tracks (tracks 7/8 and 9/10) you can
select different V-takes for odd-numbered/even-numbered
tracks.
1. In the main screen, press the display section [V-
TAKE] key.
The [V-TAKE] key will light, and a screen will appear in
which you can switch the V-take for each track. In the
"TRxx-yy" indication, xx is the track number (1 – 10), and
yy is the V-take number (1 – 10) currently selected for that
track. The name of the V-take is displayed below "TRxx-
yy."
The level meter display area will show dots as
lit/blinking/dark to indicate the V-take currently selected
for each track, and the V-takes that have already been
recorded.
2. Use the cursor [ E ]/[ R ] keys to make the track
number blink, and turn the dial to select a track
(1 – 10).
You can also use the status keys (1 – 6, 7/8, 9/10) to select
a track. When using status keys 7/8 and 9/10, the odd-
numbered/even-numbered tracks will be selected
alternately each time you press the key.
3. Use the cursor [ E ]/[ R ] keys to make the V-take
number indicator blink, and turn the dial to select a
V-take (1 – 10).
As necessary, repeat steps 2 – 3 to switch V-takes for other
tracks as well.
V-takes that have already been recorded will be assigned a
default name as follows. These names can be edited as
desired. (See the following section.)
• GTRxx-yy: A V-take recorded through an insert effect
(algorithm= GUITAR/BASS)
• MICxx-yy: A V-take recorded through an insert effect
(algorithm= MIC)
• LINxx-yy: A V-take recorded through an insert effect
(algorithm= LINE)
• MASxx-yy: A V-take recorded through an insert effect
(algorithm= MASTERING)
• BYPxx-yy: A V-take recorded with the insert effect
