Input Select status and track button functions
* The following section describes the selection of audio tracks using track buttons. When any of the TRACK TYPE
indicators are lit up, Tracks 9/10 and 11/12 will each be selected for drum patterns, bass patterns, and loop phrases,
respectively. It is important to remember that the operation of these tracks will differ from that of standard audio tracks.
When the Input Select status is GUITAR/BASS:
Only one of the track buttons will flash, and the sound source will be recorded to the corresponding track.
If a pair of adjacent track buttons (such 1 and 2, or 3 and 4) are pressed simultaneously at this time, both of these
buttons will begin to flash, indicating that the corresponding tracks have been selected as the destination for a stereo
recording. If you then press one of these track buttons, things go back to the way they commonly are, with only one
track button flashing. This means that the corresponding track has been selected to record in mono.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10 or Track 11/12 is selected, the corresponding tracks will always
be selected for stereo recording.
Certain effects applied to mono input sources produce a stereo output, and the BR-1200CD allows stereo tracks to be
selected so that this audio can be recorded. If the output of such an effect were recorded to a mono track, the stereo
nature of the sound would be lost.
When the Input Select status is VOCAL:
Only one of the track buttons will flash.
If a pair of adjacent track buttons (such 1 and 2, or 3 and 4) are pressed simultaneously at this time, both of these
buttons will begin to flash, indicating that the corresponding tracks have been selected as the destination for a stereo
recording. If you then press one of these track buttons, things go back to the way they commonly are, with only one
track button flashing. This means that the corresponding track has been selected to record in mono.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10 or Track 11/12 is selected, the corresponding tracks will always
be selected for stereo recording.
Certain effects applied to mono input sources produce a stereo output, and the BR-1200CD allows stereo tracks to be
selected so that this audio can be recorded. If the output of such an effect were recorded to a mono track, the stereo
nature of the sound would be lost.
When the Input Select status is SIMUL:
A pair of tracks are selected for recording, and the track buttons for these tracks start flashing.
In this condition, the audio from the INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack or the GUITAR/BASS jack, and the audio from the INPUT
2/MIC 2 jack will be recorded separately on the two selected tracks.
If one of the flashing track buttons were to be pressed at this time, the other button would stop flashing and turn off,
indicating that a mix of the two input sources will be recorded to the mono track corresponding to the flashing track
button.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10 or Track 11/12 is selected, the corresponding tracks will always
be selected for the separate recording of each of the input sources.
When the Input Select status is LINE:
A stereo track is selected for recording, and the track button for this track starts flashing.
Sounds input from LINE IN L/R are recorded to the selected audio tracks.
If one of the flashing track buttons were to be pressed at this time, the other button would stop flashing and turn off,
indicating that a mix of the two input sources will be recorded to the mono track corresponding to the flashing track
button.
Note that whenever a pair of tracks from Track 9/10 or Track 11/12 is selected, the corresponding tracks will always
be selected for the separate recording of each of the input sources.
