5 − Mixer
A pair of tracks can be routed for direct output through the 
analog 
STEREO OUT
 jacks (and the 
DIGITAL OUT
).
While the above screen is shown, if you use the 
JOG/DATA
 
dial to select linked or paired tracks (1/2–23/24), the track 
signal bypasses the mixer and stereo faders and is output 
directly from the 
STEREO OUT
 jacks. Usually this function 
is OFF.
NOTE
The direct output signal is a track playback signal that 
does not pass through the mixer channel. EQ, insert 
effects, the channel fader and the stereo fader all 
become ineffective.
Direct output
Sub mixer
The 2488neo sub mixer facility allows you to add up to 
eight more inputs (usually on mixdown) to the twenty-
four tracks already recorded. These could be inputs from 
a multi-timbral MIDI device, synchronized using MIDI 
clock information from the 2488neo driving a sequencer. 
The eight inputs from 
A
 through 
H
 are pressed into service 
here and they feed a bus that can be routed to the stereo bus 
(or to the recorder in bounce mix—see “Making a bounce 
mix” on page 58
).
1  To assign an input to the sub mixer, while press-
ing and holding its 
INPUT
 key, press the sub mixer 
channel’s 
SELECT
 key.
2  Repeat this process for all inputs to be assigned to 
the sub mixer.
3  While pressing and holding the sub mixer 
section 
SELECT
 key, press the STEREO section’s 
SELECT
 key.
 
Finally, assign the sub mixer itself to the stereo bus. 
To see the sub mixer status, press the sub mixer 
section 
SELECT
 key to show the SUB MIXER screen:
This shows the current assignment of inputs to the sub 
mixer, and the current assignment of the sub mixer output.
You can also adjust the level of the sub mix bus output 
using the SUB fader in sub mixer section.
NOTE
The 2488neo has a track bounce function. This func-
tion allows you to choose and mix multiple previously 
recorded track signals and record them to another 
track (see "Bouncing tracks" on page 58
).
When you use this function, the bounce source track 
signal is sent to the sub mix bus, and this sub mix bus 
signal is then sent to the bounce destination track.
When using this, the sub mix bus assignment destina-
tion is set to REC in the SUB MIXER screen shown above.
