AW1600 Owner's Manual Chapter 5 Track recording This chapter explains how to create a new song, and record the audio signal from an instrument or mic connected to the AW1600 onto the first track of your song. Creating a new song In order to begin recording on the AW1600, you must first create a new song. HINT When you start up the AW1600 for the first time, an empty song will be loaded automatically. If you use this automatically-loaded song, the procedure described here is not necessary. 1 In the Work Navigate section, either press the [SONG] key repeatedly or hold down the [SONG] key and use the CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys to access the LIST page. 2 Move the cursor to the NEW button and press the [ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you whether you want to save the current song. 3 Move the cursor to YES (to save the current song) or NO (if you don't want to save the current song) and press the [ENTER] key. The song bit depth selection window will then appear. NOTE See page 143 for more information on song bit depth (quantization bits). 4 Select either 16 BIT or 24 BIT, move the cursor to the OK button, and press the [ENTER] key. Next, a popup window will appear, allowing you to specify the items whose settings will be carried over from the current song. You may choose one or more of the following items if desired. SCENE button Scene memories LIBRARY button EQ, dynamics, effects, and channel libraries TEMPO button Tempo map For example if you have saved effect settings in a library for the current song and would like to use these settings for the new song as well, you would turn on the LIBRARY button. HINT You may also import these settings from another song later (-> p. 151). 5 Use the buttons to choose the items that will be carried over from the current song. Then move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key. The TITLE EDIT popup window will appear, allowing you to assign a name to the song. 6 Assign a name to the song (for details on assigning a name -> p. 25). 7 To create the new song, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key. A new song will be created, and you will return to the SONG screen LIST page. HINT If you move the cursor to the CANCEL button (instead of the OK button) and press the [ENTER] key, you will return to the SONG screen LIST page without creating a new song. You may also edit the song name later (-> p. 145). Direct recording and Bus recording Instruments/mics connected to the AW1600 can be assigned to tracks in one of the following two ways. Direct recording With this method, input channels are assigned to tracks in a one-to-one correspondence. This method requires the same number of tracks as the number of input channels you use. However, this method has the advantage that you will be free to adjust the volume, pan (stereo position), and tone of each instrument after it has been recorded. (Figure) Synthesizer/rhythm machine MIC/LINE INPUT jacks Input channels Stereo output channel Mixer section Recorder section Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6 Track 7 Track 8 Bus recording With this method, you can send multiple input channels to the L/R bus, and assign the mixed signal to one or two tracks. This method requires fewer tracks. However, you will need to decide on the final volume, pan, and tone of each instrument at the time of recording. (You will not be able to adjust these independently after recording.) (Figure) Synthesizer/rhythm machine MIC/LINE INPUT jacks Input channels Recorder section Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6 Track 7 Track 8 Stereo output channel L/R bus Mixer section NOTE The way in which you assign the input signals to tracks will depend on the method you choose. Assigning input signals to tracks (Direct recording) 1 Lower the [STEREO] fader to the - infinity position. 2 Connect instruments/mics to MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1 to 8. 3 In the Quick Navigate section, either press the [RECORD] key repeatedly or hold down the [RECORD] key and use the CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys to access the DIRECT page of the RECORD screen. The [INPUT SEL] keys and [TRACK SEL] keys will blink red. The screen will indicate how input channels are connected to tracks. 1 INPUT Indicates the connection status of input channels 1 to 8. If you move the cursor to numbers 1 to 8 and press the [ENTER] key, the INPUT SETTING popup window will appear, allowing you to make settings for the corresponding input channel. If you move the cursor to the point symbol and press the [ENTER] key, the symbol will be highlighted, and the corresponding input channel will be selected as a recording source. 2 TRACK Indicates the connection status of tracks 1 to 16. If you move the cursor to the point symbol and press the [ENTER] key, the symbol will be highlighted, and the corresponding track will be selected as a recording destination. 3 1 to 8 button If you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, input channels 1 to 8 will be connected to tracks 1 to 8. 4 9 to 16 button If you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, input channels 1 to 8 will be connected to tracks 9 to 16. 5 SAFE button If you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, all connections will be cancelled. 4 Press the [INPUT SEL] key for the input channel to which your instrument/mic is connected. The corresponding [INPUT SEL] key will light red, and the remaining [INPUT SEL] keys will go dark. If this input channel is not yet assigned to a track, all [TRACK SEL] keys will blink red. This blinking indicates that the tracks can be selected as the recording destination. In the screen, the point symbol for that input channel will be highlighted. HINT You can also select an input channel by moving the cursor to the point symbol of the desired input channel and pressing the [ENTER] key. If you select an input channel to which a track is already assigned, only the corresponding [TRACK SEL] key will blink red. If you press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key of an input channel, the INPUT SETTING popup window will appear, allowing you to make settings for the corresponding input channel. To exit this window and return to the previous screen, move the cursor to the EXIT button and press the [ENTER] key. 5 Press the [TRACK SEL] key of the track on which you want to record. The selected input channel and track will be connected internally. At this time, only the selected [INPUT SEL] key and [TRACK SEL] key will be blinking red. The blinking [TRACK SEL] key indicates that the corresponding track is in record-ready mode. In the screen, a line will be drawn to indicate the connection. HINT You can also select a track by moving the cursor to the point symbol of the desired track and pressing the [ENTER] key. The input channel and track will be internally connected even if you first press the [TRACK SEL] key and then press the [INPUT SEL] key afterward. When an input channel is selected as a recording source, its assignment to the stereo bus will automatically be turned off, and it will be connected to allow monitoring via the track channel. EQ and dynamics settings will be flat for a track channel that is selected as the recording destination. NOTE The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as "M" (mute), but you can still record to muted tracks. Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 8 play tracks (-> p. 143), tracks 9 to 16 are muted and will not play back. The bit depth of a song can be verified via the SONG screen LIST page. 6 If you want to record more than one instrument or mic simultaneously, assign other input channels to tracks in the same way. HINT To cancel a connection that you made, press the [INPUT SEL] key to make it light red, and then press the [TRACK SEL] key of the track that is selected as the recording destination. To cancel all connections, move the cursor to the SAFE button and press the [ENTER] key. To change the recording destination, press the [INPUT SEL] key to make it light red, and then press the [TRACK SEL] key of a different track. If both the recording-source inputs and the recording-destination tracks are paired and connected using the [INPUT SEL]/[TRACK SEL] keys, two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered channels will be simultaneously assigned to two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered tracks. 7 Press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key for the recording-source input channel, to access the INPUT SETTING popup window. HINT You can also access the INPUT SETTING popup window by moving the cursor to an input channel number in the RECORD screen DIRECT page, and pressing the [ENTER] key. 8 Use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the input level of the signal. For details on adjusting the input level, refer to "Recording to a sound clip" (-> p. 33). If an input channel is connected to a recording-destination, that recording-destination and the METER button will be added to the display in the INPUT SETTING popup window. By moving the cursor to the METER button and pressing the [ENTER] key, you can switch the location at which the level is detected between "pre-fader" (default setting; immediately after A/D) and "post-fader" (after the signal has passed through EQ, dynamics, and the level knob). Check that the increase in level after passing through EQ and dynamics does not cause the signal to clip. 9 Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB position. 10 To monitor the signal that you are recording, raise the fader of the track channel that you selected as the recording destination. Normally when recording, you do not monitor the input channel signal before it is recorded, but rather the signal after passing through the recorder, via the track channel. This lets you monitor the signal that is actually being recorded, and also lets you adjust the volume and tone of the monitor signal without affecting the signal that is being recorded. If the track channel fader for the recording-destination track is set to the 0 dB position, the monitor level during recording will be the same as the playback level after recording. Monitor signal flow during recording (Figure) Recorder section Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5 Track 6 Track 7 Track 8 from the input channels Track channels Stereo output channel Stereo bus Mixer section 11 To adjust the pan of the monitor signal, press the [TRACK SEL] key for the corresponding track channel, and turn the [PAN/BAL] knob of the Selected Channel section. NOTE The pan setting of an input channel will have no effect if that input channel is assigned to a track by direct recording. Assigning input signals to tracks (Bus recording) 1 Lower the [STEREO] fader to the -infinity position. 2 Connect instruments/mics to MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1 to 8. 3 In the Quick Navigate section, either press the [RECORD] key repeatedly or hold down the [RECORD] key and use the CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys to access the MIXED page of the RECORD screen. In the MIXED page of the RECORD screen, you can assign the input channel signals to any one or two tracks via the L/R bus. 1 INPUT Selects the record-source input channel. 2 L/R bus The two horizontal lines indicate the bus L/R signal route. You can check the on/off status of the signal that is sent from the record-source input channel(s) to bus L or R, and check the tracks that will be the record-destination of the L/R bus. 3 TRACK Selects the track(s) that will be the record-destination of the L/R bus signal. 4 SAFE button To cancel all record-sources and record-destinations, move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key. 5 BUS button When you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, a dedicated fader and level meter for the L/R bus will appear in the right of the screen. You can use this to adjust the master level of the L/R bus. 4 Press the [INPUT SEL] key for the input channel to which you connected your instrument or mic. The current setting [INPUT SEL] key will light orange, and that input channel will be selected for operations. In the screen, the point symbol for the corresponding input channel will be highlighted, and a line will appear, indicating that this channel is connected to the bus. HINT You can also select an input channel by moving the cursor to the point symbol for the desired input channel and pressing the [ENTER] key. If you press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key of an input channel, the INPUT SETTING popup window will appear, allowing you to make settings for the corresponding input channel. To close this popup window and return to the previous screen, move the cursor to the EXIT button and press the [ENTER] key. 5 Repeatedly press the same [INPUT SEL] key as in step 4, and the signal sent from that input channel to the L/R bus will be switched on/off. Each time you press the [INPUT SEL] key, the screen will change as follows. HINT For an input channel that is selected as a record-source, the assignment to the stereo bus will automatically be turned off, and connections will be made so that the signal can be monitored via the track channel. 6 As necessary, use the same procedure to specify other input channels as recording-sources. 7 Press the [TRACK SEL] key(s) for the record-destination track(s). You can select up to two tracks as the record-destination. If you select track 1, 3, 5, or 7, the signal will be connected to bus L. If you select track 2, 4, 6, or 8, the signal will be connected to bus R. If you select tracks 9/10 to 15/16, odd-numbered tracks will be connected to bus L, and even-numbered tracks will be connected to bus R. The screen will display lines to indicate how the signals are connected to the track(s). HINT EQ and dynamics settings will be flat for a track channel whose track has been selected as a record-destination. If a single track is selected, the pan of the track channel will be centered. If a paired track (-> p. 49) is selected, the odd-numbered/even-numbered track channels will be panned to left and right respectively. The connection will be cancelled if you once again press the [TRACK SEL] key of a currently selected track. NOTE The track numbers of muted tracks will be displayed as "M" (mute), but you can still record to muted tracks. Since 24-bit songs can have a maximum of 8 play tracks (-> p. 143), tracks 9 to 16 are muted and will not play back. The bit depth of a song can be verified via the SONG screen LIST page. 8 For each input channel to which you connected an instrument or mic, press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key to access the INPUT SETTING popup window, and use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the input level of the signal. For details on adjusting the input level, refer to "Recording to a sound clip" (-> p. 33). 9 Raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB position. 10 Raise the track channel fader for the record-destination track, so that the monitor level is appropriate. Now you will be able to monitor the signal that is being sent to the track(s) via the L/R bus. 11 To set the pan of each input channel, use the [INPUT SEL] key to select a channel, and turn the [PAN/BAL] knob of the Selected Channel section. When you use bus recording, it will not be possible to adjust the pan or volume balance for individual instruments after they have been recorded on the track(s). This means that you must finalize the pan and volume balance when you send the signals from the input channels to the L/R bus. 12 To adjust the volume balance of each input channel, repeatedly press the [VIEW] key in the Selected Channel section to access the FADER page. When you want to set the volume balance of the input channels, it is convenient to use the FADER page of the VIEW screen. Here you can adjust the on/off status and input levels for the input channels, pad channels, and track channels - all in one page. 13 While producing sound on your instruments, use the [INPUT SEL] keys or CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys to move the cursor to the input channel that you want to control, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the volume balance. NOTE We recommend that you not use the [GAIN] knob to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. This will degrade the S/N ratio, and may cause the sound to distort. HINT You can also use the INPUT LEVEL knob in the INPUT SETTING popup window to adjust the volume balance of the input channels. Normally, the panel faders are dedicated to the track channels. However by changing an internal setting, you can use the faders to control the input levels of the input channels. (-> p. 169) Enabling the metronome Before you begin recording, set the tempo and volume of the metronome. If you will not be using the metronome while recording, you can skip the following procedure. 1 In the Work Navigate section, repeatedly press the [TRACK] key or hold down the [TRACK] key and use the CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys to access the VIEW page. 1 Metronome button Switches the metronome on/off. 2 Metronome knob Adjusts the metronome volume level. The current value is shown above the knob in dB units. 2 Move the cursor to the metronome button and press the [ENTER] key. The metronome will be turned on. 3 When you press the [PLAY] key to begin playback, the metronome will begin sounding. As necessary, move the cursor to the metronome knob and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the metronome level. If you want to change the tempo or time signature, press the [STOP] key to stop playback, and perform the following procedure. 4 In the Work Navigate section, repeatedly press the [SONG] key or hold down the [SONG] key and use the CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys to access the TEMPO page. The TEMPO page lets you create a tempo map that specifies the tempo and time signature of the song. The tempo and time signature that you specify here will be the basis for the measure/beat display counter, the internal metronome, and the MIDI clock messages generated by the AW1600. 1 Tempo map events These are the events recorded in the tempo map. When you create a new song, a tempo map event of time signature = 4/4 and tempo = 120 will be created at the beginning of the song (measure 1, beat 1). 5 Move the cursor to the TEMPO field of the event, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to set the tempo value. You can set a tempo in a range of 30 to 250 (BPM). 6 If necessary, move the cursor to the METER field and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to change the time signature. You can set a time signature in a range of 1/4 to 8/4. HINT It is also possible to change the tempo or time signature during a song. For details, refer to "Song management" (-> p. 143). It is also possible to use the Quick Loop Sampler as a rhythm machine, instead of the metronome. For details, refer to "Using sample libraries" (-> p. 113). Recording on a track Now that you have completed your preparations, let's record on a track. 1 In the Work Navigate section, repeatedly press the [TRACK] key or hold down the [TRACK] key and use the CURSOR [Up]/[Down] keys to access the VIEW screen. 1 Track view Graphically indicates the presence of data and markers in tracks 1 to 16, pad tracks 1 to 4, and the stereo track. 2 TRACK field Selects the track that you want to operate in the screen. You can select 1 to 16 (audio track 1 to 16), ST (stereo track), or PAD 1 to 4 (pad track 1 to 4). NOTE Changing the track here will not change the track to be recorded. 3 MUTE button When you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to mute the currently selected track. NOTE This mute function switches muting on or off for the recorder track playback. This also affects the number of simultaneous playback tracks in the recorder section (-> p. 143). It's a good idea to mute all unused tracks. Since 24-bit songs allow a maximum of 8 playback tracks (-> p. 143), mute cannot be disengaged for tracks 9 to 16. Mixer track channels can be muted via the MONITOR screen ON/OFF page (-> p. 31). 4 Track name If you selected 1-16 or ST in the TRACK field, this area displays the name that has been assigned to the virtual track. If nothing has been recorded, a name of "-NO REC-" will be assigned. 5 WAVE button When you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, the waveform of the currently selected track will be displayed. This button will appear only if you have selected 1 to 16 or ST in the TRACK field. 6 NAME button When you move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key, the TITLE EDIT popup window will appear, allowing you to assign a name to the track. 2 In the Transport section, hold down the REC key and press the PLAY key. The metronome will begin sounding, and the counter display will advance. In the track view within the screen, the vertical line that indicates the current location will advance toward the right. 3 Play your instrument in time with the metronome. The metronome sound will not be recorded on the track. If necessary, move the cursor to the metronome knob and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the metronome volume level. 4 To stop recording, press the STOP key. I (In point) and O (Out point) symbols will appear in the track view of the VIEW page, indicating the location of the most recent recording operation. The [UNDO/REDO] key of the data entry/control section will light. This indicates that you can press the [UNDO/REDO] key to execute the Undo function. 5 To hear the recorded content from the beginning, press the RTZ key to return the counter display to zero, and press the PLAY key. 6 If you want to redo the recording, press the [UNDO/REDO] key. The [UNDO/REDO] key will go dark, and you will return to the state prior to recording. Repeat steps 2 to 5. 7 When you finish recording, press the Quick Navigate Section [RECORD] key once again, move the cursor to the SAFE button, and press the [ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you for confirmation, so move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key. Assignments of the input signals to tracks will be cancelled. It will no longer be possible to press the [REC] key, and this will prevent recording from occurring accidentally. 8 If you are satisfied with the recorded content, save the song. (For details on saving -> p. 63) Please be aware that the recorded content will be lost if you turn off the power of the AW1600 before saving the song. Pairing input channels/track channels Pad tracks 1 to 4 and track channels 9/10 to 15/16 are permanently paired. However, you may also specify pairing for adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input channels (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) or track channels (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8). When two channels are paired, most of their parameters will be linked, so that operating one of the channels will cause the same setting to occur on the other channel as well. This is convenient when you are recording a stereo audio source, or when you want to play back two bus-recorded tracks as a single stereo track. 1 Hold down the [INPUT SEL] key (or [TRACK SEL] key) of one channel that you want to pair, and then press the other [INPUT SEL] key (or [TRACK SEL] key). A popup window will appear, asking you to confirm the pairing. 2 Move the cursor to one of the following buttons and press the [ENTER] key. INPUT (TRACK) x -> y (x= odd number, y= even number) Copy the settings of input (track) channel x to y, and pair them. INPUT (TRACK) y -> x (x= odd number, y= even number) Copy the settings of input (track) channel y to x, and pair them. RESET BOTH Initialize both input (track) channels, and pair them. CANCEL Cancel pairing. When input channels are paired, all mix parameters other than the [GAIN] knob and phase/pan settings will be linked. When track channels are paired, all mix parameters other than the phase/pan settings will be paired. Operating just the odd-numbered fader will adjust the level of both odd-numbered/even-numbered channels. (While channels are paired, the even-numbered fader has no effect.) 3 To defeat pairing, hold down the [INPUT SEL] key (or [TRACK SEL] key) of one of the channels, and press the other [INPUT SEL] key (or [TRACK SEL] key). A popup window will ask you to confirm that you want to cancel pairing. 4 To cancel pairing, press the OK button. If you decide not to cancel pairing, move the cursor to the CANCEL button and press the [ENTER] key. HINT In the case of paired channels, setting the pan to far left or far right will produce nominal level. (The levels before and after passing through Pan will be the same.) In the case of paired channels, setting the pan to center will produce nominal level. Using the input library The input library is a library of settings used to apply internal effects, EQ, or dynamics settings to the input signal when you want to record the processed signal. Here's how to apply input library settings to the signal of an input channel. 1 Press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key of the input channel for which you want to use the input library, to access the INPUT SETTING popup window. 2 Move the cursor to the LIBRARY button, and press the [ENTER] key. The following popup window will appear. In this popup window, you can select whether the internal effect 1 or 2 will be patched to the input channel. NOTE When you use the input library, internal effect 1 or 2 will be disconnected from the send/return of the mixer, and patched to a specific input channel. For this reason, you can use the internal effects on a maximum of two channels. 3 Move the cursor to the EFF1 button or EFF2 button, and press the [ENTER] key. The INPUT LIBRARY popup window will appear, allowing you to select an input library. 1 List This is the library list. The line surrounded by a dotted line in the middle of the list is the data that is selected for loading. When you turn the [DATA/JOG] dial, the data in the list will scroll upward or downward. 2 RECALL button Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to load the currently selected data. 3 EXIT button Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to close the popup window. 4 Turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the desired input library data. The input library data is organized into the following categories. (Table) Number Abbreviation Category 00 Data for initializing the input channel. 01 to 25 EG Data suitable for electric guitar. 26 to 30 AG Data suitable for acoustic guitar. 31 to 35 BA Data suitable for bass. 36 to 40 VO Data suitable for vocals. (Table End) NOTE All input library data is read-only. 5 Select the desired data, and press the [ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you to confirm the recall operation. 6 Move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key. The data of the selected library will be loaded, and the internal effect, EQ (or speaker simulator), and dynamics effect will be applied to the input signal. (Figure) Input library MIC/LINE INPUT jack Speaker simulator Internal effect Dynamics EQ Input channel INPUT LEVEL to the bus NOTE If the input channel is paired, the same settings will be applied to both channels. 7 If you want to adjust the effect, use the [INPUT SEL] key to select the input channel. While you produce sound on your instrument, adjust the [EQ] knob, [DYN] knob, or [EFFECT 1]/[EFFECT 2] knobs of the Selected Channel section. Immediately after you select an input library, turning the knobs of the Selected Channel section will control the following items. Turning the [EQ] knob Adjusts the amount of boost/cut for each EQ band. To select the band that will be adjusted, use the [HIGH] key, [HI-MID] key, [LO-MID] key, or [LOW] key located at the right. Turning the [DYN] knob Simultaneously adjusts multiple dynamics parameters to adjust the dynamics effect. The result will depend on the library that you selected. Turning the [EFFECT 1] knob Adjusts the balance of direct sound and processed sound for internal effect 1. Turning the [EFFECT 2] knob Adjusts the balance of direct sound and processed sound for internal effect 2. NOTE Depending on the input library you select, the level of the input channel may change. Re-adjust the volume balance using the INPUT LEVEL knob in the INPUT SETTING popup window. HINT If turning the [EQ] knob or [DYN] knob does not produce the desired result, you can reload new settings from the EQ library or dynamics library (-> p. 77, 78). 8 In the same way, select input library settings for the other input channels. However, a maximum of two input channels can use the internal effects at the same time. Using the EQ library The EQ library contains EQ settings appropriate for a variety of instruments. Use these when you want to apply EQ to an input channel while you record, or when you want to modify the EQ settings after recalling an input library. 1 Press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key of the input channel for which you want to use the EQ library, to access the INPUT SETTING popup window. 2 Move the cursor to the EQ button in the screen, and press the [ENTER] key. The EQ library will appear. 1 List This is the library list. The line surrounded by a dotted line in the middle of the list is the data that is selected for loading. When you turn the [DATA/JOG] dial, the data in the list will scroll upward or downward. 2 RECALL button Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to load the currently selected data. 3 EXIT button Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to close the popup window. HINT You can also access the EQ library by pressing the [EQ] knob of the Selected Channel section. For details, refer to "Using libraries and scene memories" (-> p. 73). 3 Turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the library that you want to use, and press the [ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you to confirm the library recall operation. 4 Move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key. The selected library will be loaded. 5 Move the cursor to the EXIT button and press the [ENTER] key. 6 If you want to adjust the EQ settings, press the [HIGH] key, [HI-MID] key, [LO-MID] key, or [LOW] key of the Selected Channel section to select the band, and turn the EQ knob to adjust the amount of boost/cut. NOTE If turning the EQ knob does not change the tone, check whether EQ may have been turned off for that channel (-> p. 95). HINT If necessary, you can also adjust the frequency and Q parameters of each band. For details, refer to "Using libraries and scene memories" (-> p. 73). Using the dynamics library The dynamics library contains dynamics settings suitable for a variety of instruments. As for the EQ library, you can use this to apply dynamics processing to an input channel while you record, or when you want to modify the dynamics settings after recalling an input library. 1 Press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key of the input channel for which you want to use the dynamics library, to access the INPUT SETTING popup window. 2 Move the cursor to the DYN button in the screen, and press the [ENTER] key. The dynamics library will appear. 1 List This is the library list. The line surrounded by a dotted line in the middle of the list is the data that is selected for loading. When you turn the [DATA/JOG] dial, the data in the list will scroll upward or downward. 2 RECALL button Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to load the currently selected data. 3 EXIT button Move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key to close the popup window. HINT You can also access the dynamics library by pressing the [DYN] knob of the Selected Channel section. For details, refer to "Using libraries and scene memories" (-> p. 73). 3 Turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the library that you want to use, and press the [ENTER] key. A popup window will ask you to confirm the library recall operation. 4 Move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key. The selected dynamics library will be loaded. 5 Move the cursor to the EXIT button and press the [ENTER] key. 6 If you want to adjust the dynamics settings, turn the [DYN] knob of the Selected Channel section. Turning the [DYN] knob immediately after a library has been recalled will simultaneously adjust multiple dynamics parameters to control the dynamics effect. (The result will depend on the library that you select.) NOTE If turning the [DYN] knob does not change the tone, check whether dynamics may have been turned off for that channel (-> p. 96). HINT If necessary, you can also make detailed adjustments to the individual dynamics parameters. For details, refer to "Using libraries and scene memories" (-> p. 73). This is the end of the file.
