Rehearsal
10. Rewind the tape to just before the beginning of the recorded FSK signals and press the COUNTER
RESET button.
11. Press the REHE button to turn this unit into the "rehearsal" mode, and press the PLAY button to start tape
playback.
The performance on the MIDI instrument begins by being synchronized with the FSK signals recorded on
track 8.
* Be sure to play back the tape from the point before the FSK signal begins. If not so, the MIDI
instrument will not work properly.
12. Adjust the recording level using the GROUP MASTER controls and the channel faders. (See "SETTING
THE RECORDING LEVELS" on page 28.)
13. Adjust the monitoring level using the MONITOR/PHONES control.
14. When the performance is finished, press the RTZ button to finish the rehearsal and rewind the tape.
Recording
15. Press the REC/PAUSE button and then press the PLAY button.
SYNC recording is carried out automatically.
16. When the recording is finished, press the RTZ button to rewind the tape.
Checking the finished SYNC recording
17. Press the PLAY button to play back the tape. Monitoring the recorded tape, make sure it has been
recorded properly.
18. Press the CUE switch under MONITOR SELECT and slide up the CUE LEVEL faders for the tracks
originally recorded.
19. If the recording needs to be redone, adjust some controls if necessary, and start re-recording.
3. Mixdown using SYNC recording
For synchronized performance at the mixdown stage with this unit, audio signals from MIDI instruments are not
recorded. This enables a higher quality of mixdown, while taking full advantage of the number of recording tracks.
At mixdown, output the FSK signals on track 8 from the TAPE OUT 8/SYNC jack to make the MIDI instrument
perform. At the same time, input the resulting output signals from the MIDI instrument to the channel 8 in stereo
format and mix down with signals from other seven tracks.
