If you want to record without sending the sound through the
insert effect, press the [BYPASS] key from the main screen.
This will bypass the insert effect. When you press the [BY-
PASS] key once again it will go out, and bypass will be dis-
abled.

3.3 Selecting a track and recording

Now we will record the sound (with the insert effect applied)
on a track.
1.
If necessary, readjust the recording level with the
[REC LEVEL] control while playing your
instrument.
By default, the insert effect is inserted before the [REC
LEVEL] control. For this reason, the recording level may
change if you change the insert effect patch.
2.
With the recorder stopped, repeatedly press the
status key for the chosen track (1 - 8, 9/10) so that
the key lights up in red.
Status keys 1 - 8 and 9/10 are used to switch channel-muting
on/off and to select the recording track. Each time you press
a status key, the key will cycle through the following states:
● Lit green (mute off)
● Out (mute on)
● Lit red (selected as the recording track)
When the status key is red, the input signal routing will
change as follows.
