Master Bus L,R (Armed)
Aux Bus X1,X2 (Unarmed)
Iso Tracks (Unarmed)
Tracks ready for recording (armed tracks) have a red label. Tracks not assigned for recording (dis-
armed tracks) have a gray label. To toggle the armed status of a track, turn the Select Encoder to
highlight the track, press and hold the Meters Button, then press the Select Encoder. The background
color of the track will change to indicate the new arming status. If an input is off (Trim Control fully
counter-clockwise or Input Selection set to Off), the track label will be black.
Track-to-Media Routing
The 664 supports simultaneous recording to CF and SD media. See Recording Media for details. By
default, all armed tracks are recorded to both cards as a polyphonic WAV file. Recording options are
set independently for each memory card from the Setup Menu items RECORDER > Record to CF and
RECORDER > Record to SD. Each item can be set to the following settings:
