The D12 has twelve tracks, and each of these tracks has
eight virtual tracks.
For example when recording a solo part, you can
switch between several virtual tracks to record differ-
ent performances on each, and select the best perfor-
mance later. Or when using bounce (ping-pong)
recording, you can specify an unrecorded virtual track
as the recording destination, so that you can mixdown
into two tracks without erasing any of the twelve
tracks. ( p.29)
