Step 4: Overdubbing
In this step, you will learn how to record another instrument
or vocals on a new track, while listening to the rhythm song
and to the track you already recorded. Recording additional
parts in this way is called "overdubbing".

We will also apply an insert effect on the input signal.
1.
Connect the instrument and adjust input sensitivity
as described for step 2-1.
2.
Use the [ALGORITHM] keys in the effect section to
select an algorithm for the insert effect.
3.
Turn the dial to select the patch.
4.
Press the [EXIT] key.
The unit returns to the main screen.
4-2 Selecting a track and recording
Now we will set the recording level and perform overdubbing
on the next track.
1.
Adjust the recording level with the [REC LEVEL]
control while playing your instrument.
2.
With the recorder stopped, repeatedly press the
status key for the track you wish to use, so that the
key lights up in red.

Operate the fader of the selected track to adjust
the monitor level of the input signal.
If necessary, press the PLAY [ R ] key and operate the
DRUM/BASS faders and the fader of the already recorded
track to adjust the volume balance of the rhythm song and
the track.

Press the ZERO [ U ] key to return to the beginning
of the song.

The REC [ O ] key and PLAY [ R ] key will go out, and
recording will stop.

If you wish to redo only a part of the track, use the punch-in/
punch-out function ( → p. 40).

To listen to the recorded content, press the ZERO
[ U ] key to return to the beginning of the song, and
press the PLAY [ R ] key.
The tracks will be played back together with the rhythm
song. If you are satisfied with the recorded content, press the
status key for the recorded track until it is lit in green.
Use the same procedure to record other tracks.
