Using the solo function

If desired, you can mute all other tracks except one during
playback of the recorder section. This is called the "solo
function". It is convenient to fine-tune the parameters for
a certain track.
1.
From the main screen, perform playback of
the recorder section and press the [SOLO]
key.
The key lights up.
NOTE
Also when the [SOLO] key is lit, the input signals are always
mixed. If necessary, turn inputs off by pressing the respective
[ON/OFF] key.
2.
Press the status key (except [MASTER]
status key) for the track that you want to
monitor alone.
The status key lights up in green, and only the
corresponding track is heard. You can use the fader of the
track to adjust the volume.
HINT
• For stereo tracks, both tracks are monitored.
• While the [SOLO] key is lit, two mono tracks that are stereo-
linked will be played individually.
3.
To cancel the solo function, press the
[SOLO] key once more.
The key goes out.

Saving/recalling mixer
settings (scene function)
The current mixer and effect settings can be saved as a so-
called "scene" in a special area of memory, and recalled
either manually or automatically whenever desired. This
is convenient to compare various mixes, or to automate
mix operations.
A scene contains the following data.
• Track parameters (except for stereo link on/off
and currently selected V-take number)
• The state of all status keys (play/mute)
• Insert effect patch number/input source
• Send/return effect (chorus/delay, reverb) patch
number
• Fader settings
Up to 100 different scenes per project can be stored.
Scene data stored in memory are saved on the internal
hard disk as part of the currently selected project.

Saving a scene

This section explains how to save the current settings as
a scene.
1.
Press the [SCENE] key in the control
section.
2.
Turn the dial to select the scene number
(0 – 99) in which the data will be saved.
If you select a number where scene data are already
saved, the existing data will be erased and overwritten by
the new data.
3.
Press the [STORE] key.
The first character of the scene name flashes. In this
condition, you can specify a name for the scene.
HINT
The default name is "SCENExxx" (where xxx is the scene
number).
