data, track 8 (or track 16) outputs the metronome sound
and the unit counts time.
3. Adjust the system so the sound output from track
8 (or track 16) can be monitored with the mixer.
You will hear the metronome sound output from track 8
(or track 16) using the Tempo Map created earlier.
4. After confirming the metronome sound, stop the
recorder section and return to the top Program.
