MIDI Synchronization
Mixing down while syncing MIDI sound sources
When you finish overdubbing, proceed to mixdown. As shown in the diagram, use the connected MIDI sound
sources as virtual tracks, synchronize them to the FD-8, and mix down digital signals while applying effects.

1. Set the channel 1-8 INPUT SEL switches to [TRK].
2. Set the SELECTOR in the monitor section to
[L/R+MON].
3. Raise the master faders L/R to [7-8].
4. Connect the MON OUT (L/R) jacks and the
RECORDER IN jacks directly.
This connection will route the L/R+MON signals output
from MON OUT (L/R) to the DAT OUT jacks via the
RECORDER IN jacks for mixdown. (The L/R+MON signals
include the playback signals from tracks 1-8 and eight
MIDI sound sources.)
5. Set the "Setting digital output tracks" in SETUP
mode to [L- , r- ].
