Combining multiple tracks on
another track (Bounce function)
How bounce works
"Bounce" is a function that mixes the performances of the
recorder section and rhythm section (drum kit + bass
program), and records them on one or two tracks. (This is
sometimes called "ping-pong recording".)
For example, you might bounce the contents of tracks 1 - 8
onto tracks 9/10 and then switch the V-takes of tracks 1 - 8
to record new versions of your performance.
H INT
• You can also mix the signals from the [INPUT] jacks into
the bounce recording.
• If you select only one mono track as the bounce
destination, the signal mixed to mono will be recorded.
• If necessary, you can play back all ten tracks, and bounce
onto empty V-takes.
Making bounce settings
Before using the bounce function, you may have to make
certain settings.
■ Specifying playback/mute for the
recording track(s)
By default, the bounce destination recording track(s) will be
muted. If you want to play back a track while you bounce-
record on another V-take of that track, use the following
procedure to change the internal setting so that the recording
track(s) will also play back.
