Assigning input signals to
recording tracks
This section explains how to adjust the sensitivity for
signals input from the INPUT jacks 1 – 8 and GUITAR/
BASS INPUT jacks 1/2, and how to send them to tracks
in the recorder section.
1.
Make sure that the instrument or mic that
you want to record is connected to the
respective INPUT or GUITAR/BASS INPUT
jack.
NOTE
You can use either GUITAR/BASS INPUT jack 1 or INPUT

2. If both jacks are connected, the GUITAR/BASS INPUT
jacks 1/2 are given priority.

When the [8TRACK RECORDING] key is activated, the 8-
track recording mode becomes active, and up to eight inputs
can be used simultaneously. Each input can then be
switched on or off individually.

While playing your instrument, turn the
[INPUT] control or the [GUITAR/BASS
INPUT] control for the input selected in
step 2, to adjust the input sensitivity.
Make adjustments so that the [PEAK] indicator flickers
slightly when you play your instrument at its loudest
volume.
