8vl Owner's Manual (Before operating the DMT-8VL)
2. Difference between track and channel
The terms •track" and "channel" can sometimes be confusing. In this manual, they
arc differentiated as follows:
Channel:
'Charmer Is used co define the Input and output system on the mixer section (e_g., the bass
signal routed to Channel 1 b output from Channel L)
Track:
'Track* is used to define the Input and output system In the recorder section (that Is. the
hard disk on the DMT-8\i) e. g.. Ping-pong record playback signal on Track 1, 2, and 3 to
Track 4.
3. Function of the PAN knob and about the stereo bus
The DMT-8vi has a built-in 8-channel mixer that allows you to mix down eight
sound sources into a stereo signal. The mixer functions and the flow of signal are
not visible, but refer to the diagram below to understand the signal flow inside the
DMT*8vt. The thick pipe in the diagram Ls called the "stereo bus." which collects
the signals that have passed through the channel PAN knobs. Then, the signal Is
adjusted for the final level via the Master faders WK, then output from the STEREO
OUT L/R jacks, and recorded to the recorder.
The PAN knobs function as a direction indicator for the stereo bus signal. That ls.
rotating the PAN knob to the L side will send the signal to the stereo bus L. and
rotating it to the K side will send the signal to the stereo bus R. Setting the PAN
knob in the center position will send the same signal to the stereo bus L and R
equally. The signal from the stereo bus Is also sent to the recorder section. As the
following diagram shows, the L output Is sent to Tracks 1, 3, 5. and 7, and the R
output Is sent to Tracks 2.4. 6. and 8 simultaneously. You can select recording
tracks using the RECORD TRACX select key. For example. If you wish to record
channel 1-8 signals to Track 1. turn the RECORD TRACK select key "1/L" ON. then
fully route the PAN knob of all channels to the L side.
