The GNX4's 8-Track Recorder
The GNX4's on-board 8-track digital recorder is the easiest, friendliest multi-track recorder you have ever
used. Rather than having to understand all the mechanics of recording, the GNX4's recorder is designed to
be virtually hands-free, meaning all you have to do is press a footswitch to get your ideas recorded. The
GNX4 recorder also features a recorder panel interface with standard transport controls, 8 track buttons,
Pan, Level, and Master Level buttons for controlling and mixing your projects. Other functions include Time
Remaining, Song Setup, and Input Source buttons which are used for setting up what input source you want
to record or what MP3 or MIDI file you want to use in a song. There are also Record/Playback meters which
let you monitor the levels as you create your song.
Since there is no onboard recording memory, you must first insert an optional Compact Flash (CF) memory
card into the card slot on the rear panel to begin recording tracks. The GNX4 supports most CF cards but
obviously, the larger the card size, the more recording time is available. (See the Using Compact Flash
Memory Cards section on page 75 for memory specifications.)
Recorder Control and USB/Signal Routing Panel
The recorder panel is divided into 12 basic sections:
1. METERS – These two meters show the level of tracks being recorded (REC LEVEL meter) and the
GNX4's recorder playback level (PLAY LEVEL meter).
2. DISPLAY – There are 2 different displays on the GNX4's recorder panel
a. SONG – A Song is a group of recorded tracks that are combined to create songs or
b.TIME – This display shows elapsed time of recorded material of the current Song when
