5. EFFECTS button
Press this button to call up the screens used for selecting
patches for the insert effects (p. 51) and for editing settings.
6. INPUT LEVEL Knob
Use this knob to adjust the volume of the input source.
* If you use the INPUT LEVEL knob to turn down the volume
of the input source during recording, the sound will be
recorded in the audio track at a low volume, so that noise will
be more apparent when you raise the volume of the audio track
for playback. If you wish to lower the monitor volume of the
input source during recording, you should use the MASTER
fader or the PHONES VOLUME knob to lower the volume.

MASTERING:

tracks 9/10.
This cannot be used with other tracks.
9. REC MODE (recording mode) Indicators
These indicators show the current recording mode. When
you switch the recording mode using the REC MODE button,
the INPUT, BOUNCE, or MASTERING indicator lights
accordingly.
10. MARKER
These buttons are used for settings related to the Marker function.
MARK Button
This button assigns a marker at the desired location in a
song. When you press this button, a marker will be
assigned to the current location.
Markers are numbered sequentially from the beginning
of the song. Each marker can also be given a name. The
marker field of the display will indicate the marker for
the current location if a marker has been assigned at the
current location, or the previous marker if no marker has
been assigned at the current location. If you assign
markers in a song, it will be easier to tell which part of a
song is currently playing or the like.
