Overdubbing
1. Overdub on tracks 1 - 8 as explained in “Overdubbing” of the “MIDI clock sync system” section.
Mixing down while syncing the MIDI sound sources
1. Synchronize the output from tracks 1-8 with eight MIDI sound sources, and mix down while applying the effects, as
explained in “Mixing down while syncing MIDI sound sources” in the “MIDI clock sync system” section.
These MMC commands are output only when you operate
the buttons on the FD-8. They are not output when the FD-8
receives external MMC commands.
You cannot turn off the MMC REC Out function. Whenever
you perform any of the operations described above, the
corresponding command is output. This is something you
should note. If the sequencer connected to the FD-8’s MIDI
OUT is in record mode and you operate the FD-8, the
corresponding MMC command will be recorded in a track on
the sequencer. Then, if MIDI data is sent from the sequencer
to the FD-8, the MMC command recorded in the sequence
data will cause the FD-8 to enter record mode.
About MMC REC Out function:
If you use the MMC REC Out function, operating the FD-8 will
cause the MIDI OUT connector to output the MMC command
that corresponds to the operation.
For example, pressing the PLAY button while pressing the
RECORD button will output the MMC REC command from
the MIDI OUT connector. The following commands are output:
