If other tracks are required, press the UP/DOWN buttons to scroll through the
banks of four tracks, displayed by tr 5-8, tr 9-12, tr 13-16, tr 17-20, tr 21-24, tr
25-32, etc, up to 48. Within each bank, individual tracks can be armed using the
four select switches.
When all required tracks are armed, press the TRACK ENABLE button once
again to exit track enable mode. (This will allow the four Multifunction select switch-
es to be used for other functions -see later, mute groups and MIDI controllers, and will
remove the bank number from the 7-segment display). Note that the Track Enable
button's LED will continue to flash, as a reminder that tracks have been put into
armed mode.

In all cases, pressing the Multifunction select switch once puts the track into armed
mode, and pressing again cancels armed mode. To deselect individual tracks, the
correct bank must first be selected using the UP/DOWN buttons, and then the
select switches used to deselect the track.

The TRACK ENABLE button's LED will flash as soon as any tracks are placed in
armed mode, and will continue to flash until the last track is deselected from
armed mode. This serves as a reminder that something is armed somewhere in
the system. If necessary, all tracks can be deselected from armed without scrolling
through banks -see below.

A shortcut is available which will set all tracks (max 48) to record enable (armed)
mode without having to scroll through banks of four tracks. Press and hold the
TRACK ENABLE button, then dab the UP/YES button. The TRACK ENABLE
LED will start flashing, indicating that tracks are set to armed mode.

Press and hold the TRACK ENABLE button, then dab the DOWN/NO button.
The track enable LED will stop flashing and go out, indicating that all tracks have
been deselected from armed mode. This provides a quick and sure way of making
sure that nothing is set to record ready, without having to scroll through banks of
four tracks looking for flashing select switch LEDs.

Having armed all required tracks for record ready, the connected machine is
dropped into record using the RECORD transport button.

Press and hold down the PLAY button. Whilst holding the PLAY button, dab the
RECORD button. The machine will enter record at the moment the RECORD
button is touched.
D D r r o o p p p p i i n n g g O O u u t t
Press any other transport button other than RECORD. Normally, pressing PLAY is
recommended, as it means the tape keeps moving at the same speed and thus
maximises the chance of a smooth drop-out.
