PORTASTUDIO 414 MKII Brief Guide
DBX switch : Normally, leave this switch at
ON. When you use track 4 to record and
play back MIDI sync tones or time code,
set to SYNC then the dbx is on for tracks
1-3, and off on track 4.
Tape counter : Shows the distance the tape
has moved from a zero reference point.
Counter reset button : Press to change the
counter to "000".
PITCH CONTROL : Increases or decreases
the speed of the transport in Play and
also in Record, over a 10% range
(approx.).
Meters : The meters numbered 1-4 show the
playback or the record level of the
respective tape tracks. The average
record level should be in the center (0),
but occasional peaks up to +6 are
acceptable.
ZERO RETURN : When this switch is on and
you press REW, the tape fast winds to
the counter zero point. The associated
LED blinks when the tape is rewinding,
and glows solid when the 000 point is
reached.
