Combining multiple tracks
on one or two tracks
(bounce function)
“Bounce” is a function that mixes the sound from the
audio tracks and drum/bass track, and records them on a
mono or stereo audio track. (This is sometimes called
“ping-pong recording”.)
You might bounce the contents of tracks 1 – 6 onto tracks
7/8 and then switch the V-takes of tracks 1 – 6 to record
new versions of your performance.
If necessary, you can play back all tracks 1 – 8, and
bounce the signal onto an empty V-take of a selected
track.
HINT
•You can mix the signals from the [INPUT] jacks into the
bounce recording.
•You can bounce the drum/bass track only, while playing back
all other tracks (
→ p. 42). This lets you record a drum fill-in by
hitting the pads while listening to the audio tracks.
Before using the bounce function, make the required
settings as follows.
■ Selecting operation status of bounce
destination track(s)
By default, the bounce destination recording track(s) will
be automatically muted. This is to prevent the content of
the track being mixed to the bounced signal.
To play back the V-take of a track while you bounce-
record onto 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.

From the main screen, press the [SYSTEM/
UTILITY] key.
The indication “SYSTEM PROJECT” appears on the

To play the bounce destination track, turn
the dial to change the setting to “PLAY”.
5.
To return to the main screen, press the
[EXIT] key repeatedly.
