Song information
Assigning inputs
When we talk about “assigning” inputs, we are talking 
about routing the signals from the two inputs to the tracks.
You can record on up to two tracks at a time. This means 
that the same input can be assigned to two tracks at the 
same time (but you can’t then use the other input) or the 
two inputs can be assigned to different tracks. You can’t 
assign both inputs to the same track at the same time.
ASSIGN keys
Eight REC keys
1.  Press and hold the 
ASSIGN
 key corresponding 
to the input signal you are assigning (
A
 or 
B
).
T I P
Press and hold SHIFT and either of the ASSIGN keys 
(A or B) to turn the inputs on or off as shown by the 
indicator. You may want to turn off unused inputs to 
reduce noise.
2.  While holding down the 
ASSIGN
 key, press the 
REC
 key of the track to which you are assigning the 
input. The 
REC
 key flashes rapidly.
If you want to assign the input to another track, you must 
first clear the current assignment (see below), and then 
re-assign the input.
Note that the 
REC
 key of the first track to which you 
assigned the input flashes when you hold down the 
ASSIGN
 key.
Clearing an assignment
Hold down the 
ASSIGN
 key to check current assignments, 
then while holding the 
ASSIGN
 key, clear current assign-
ments by pressing a flashing 
REC
 key (which then stops 
flashing).
