Recording Multiple Tracks; Punching In / Punching Out; Using The Bnx3'S Jamman Delay Looper - DigiTech GeNetX BNX3 User Manual

Playing Back a Recorded Track
After a track is recorded, playing it back is simple. If you are at the end of the track or the song, press
PLAY. The recorder automatically begins playing back the track/song from the very beginning. If you want
to start playback at the beginning of a track or song but are someplace other than the end of the song,
follow these steps:
1. Begin with the Recorder stopped.
2. Press the REWIND footswitch. Press and hold this button to slowly move back through the track
until it is released.
3. Press the PLAY footswitch. The newly recorded track is automatically armed in PLAY status (the track
button is lit green) and the track begins playing back.

Recording Multiple Tracks

After a track has been recorded, you may want to record other tracks that play along with it. To create a
monitoring source while recording new tracks, play the previously recorded track(s). To record a new
track with a previously recorded track, follow these steps:
1. Press the RECORD footswitch. The next available track for recording automatically lights red,
indicating it is armed to record, and the recorder begins recording on this track from the beginning of
the song. The TIME display begins counting off the recording time. If Autostop is turned on, the
recorder will automatically stop when the longest track playing back is finished. If Autostop is turned
off, go to step 2.
2.When recording is complete, press the STOP footswitch.

Punching In / Punching Out

There may be times you want to replace a track section in the middle of a song. Rather than recording
on a new track at the very beginning and wasting recording time with silence, you can "punch in" the
phrase you want to record at a certain point on the track. To punch in record, follow these steps:
1. Arm the track you want to punch in record on (TRACK button is lit flashing red).
2. Press the PLAY footswitch. Tracks that are armed for playback begin playing, and the TRACK button
armed for recording remains flashing red.
3.When you reach the point in the playback that you want the recording to begin, press the RECORD
footswitch. The TRACK button armed for recording lights solid red and recording begins on this track
at this point.
4.When you are finished recording, press the RECORD footswitch to continue listening to playback and
disable the track armed for recording, or press the STOP footswitch to stop

Using the BNX3's JamMan Delay Looper

The BNX3's recorder also doubles as a JamMan™ Delay Looper. The JamMan is used to create a recording
loop that you can playback with. The JamMan functions are accessed using the BNX3's footswitches while
they are in Recorder mode. The only difference between regular multi-track recording and looping is the way
you use the footswitches after recording your first track.
When recording multiple tracks for a song, you would normally record your first track, stop, rewind, and then
set up for recording your overdub track. The BNX3's footswitches provide hands-off operation for these
functions. But when you want to create loops on the fly that you can layer, you want the transition from the
first take to the second and so on to be seamless.
To use the JamMan feature of the BNX3 you must first have the footswitches in Recorder mode. To do this,
press the 4 and 5 footswitches simultaneously until the DOWN/UP footswitches are lit red. If you have
