CONGRATULATIONS!
Your MTIOO Multitrack Cassette Recorder is a fine creative tool that will enable you to work with
sound in many ways. No other multitrack cassette recorder offers the straightforward simplicity and
ease-of-use of the MTIOO. Whether you need to record acoustic instruments or voice using micro¬
phones, electronic instruments and sources via direct line, or a creative blend of the two, the
MTIOO makes the process of building up your own sound extraordinarily smooth and simple. You
can simply record and remix four tracks, or use the multitrack "ping-pong" recording technique to
individually record up to ten independent parts
-
adding sound layer by layer until you create
exactly the arrangement and texture your imagination demands. The MTIOO is just as easy to use
alone or with a band. And, because it's a YAMAHA, you know that the MTIOO will give you the very
finest sound quality and overall performance available.
In order to make use of the MTIOO's many features and obtain maximum performance, we urge you
to read this operation manual thoroughly
-
and keep it in a ^afe place for later reference.
