10. Combining multiple
tracks into one or two
tracks (Bounce)
The performance of multiple tracks can be com-
bined into one or two tracks, freeing the original
tracks for additional recording. This operation is
called "track bouncing" or "ping pong recording".
This can be used when you wish to record more
than 8 tracks, etc.
As an example, we will show how you can com-
bine the performances of tracks 1–5 to track 6. We
will also explain how you can combine tracks 1–5
to tracks 7 and 8 in stereo.

Track 6 (the recording track) uses the "R" bus
(printed on the [TRACK STATUS] key). Rotate the
[PAN] knobs of tracks 1–5 to the far right position
(R), so that their sound will be sent to the right
channel.
When bouncing to a single track, be sure to set the
[PAN] knobs of the bounce source tracks to match
the indication of either "L" or "R" shown above
the [TRACK STATUS] key of the bounce destina-
tion track.
