How to Record with External
Effects Devices Connected
There are two possible ways to carry out recording when you
have external effects devices connected; you can use the track
direct outs, or you can use the DIR path.
Using the track direct outs allows up to twelve tracks to be
output simultaneously in parallel, while with the DIR path
you can simultaneously output up to eight tracks in parallel
(including the R-BUS output).
Using Track Direct Outs
Sounds recorded to Tracks 9–16 are output from ANALOG
MULTI OUTPUT 1–8, external effects are added, and the
sounds are recorded to Tracks 1–8.
Externally Outputting Tracks 9–16
1. Press [TR1-16 (MASTER EDIT)].
2. Press [CH EDIT] on Track Mixer Channel 9. The display
switches to the Channel View screen.
