The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] Press the UNDO/REDO key after recording is complete to restore the conditions that existed prior to the recording. Press the UNDO/REDO key again to restore the conditions that existed after the recording. Follow the notes below: <Note-1> The Undo/Redo function is effective only when the FD-4 is stopped. <Note-2> The Undo/Redo is ineffective if you perform one of the following operations after you finish recording. · While a new editing is executed (such as Copy & Paste, Move & Paste, or Erase). · When in the AUTO PUNCH ON mode, when the AUTO PUNCH IN point is passed in the PLAY (or RECORD) mode. · When the disk is ejected. 48 Special Application (Ping Pong Recording) Ping-Pong Recording Ping-pong recording is a recording process in which you mix the playback sound of multiple tracks and record the mix on an empty track. Ping-pong recording enables you to use previously-recorded tracks in a new recording. In this way, you can overdub more sound sources using a limited number of tracks. 1 Effect Unit 12 11 4 11 10 5 EQ EQ <Example of ping-pong recording> 1.

Result: a total of 7 recorded parts A~D. In this example session, ping-pong record the sound sources recorded on tracks 1­3 to track 4. At this time, apply effects to tracks 1­3 signals. Setting the switch and knob 2. Set the channels 1­3 INPUT SEL switches to TRK. Tracks 1­3 playback signals are routed to the corresponding input channel faders.

You can monitor the stereo bus L/R output signals. 5. Press the RECORD TRACK select key 4/R to set track 4 to READY. · Initialize the FD-4. · If multiple Programs exist, select the desired Program first. 6. Raise the master fader L/R to 7­8. Adjusting the recording level/rehearsal 7. Use the channels 1­3 input faders to adjust the track output levels. The level meters 4 and R respond. Tracks 1­3 level meters indicate the corresponding track output levels. 10. Adjust the channel equalizers, if necessary. 49 Special Application (Ping Pong Recording) 11. Turn the AUX knob of the channel signal to which you wish to apply effects toward AUX 1. Use the AUX RTN 1 knob to adjust the return signal level. At this time, make sure that the [OL] section of level meters 4 and R do not light up continuously. 12. [. . . ] With the initial setting, [00] flashes as shown below.

Turning the JOG dial clockwise increments the value, and turning it counter-clockwise decrements the value. 4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key. The MIDI device ID number is stored, and "?" flashes. To cancel the operation, or to restore the setting obtained prior to the EXECUTE/YES key press, press the STOP button or the EXIT/ NO key. Each time you press one of these keys, the FD-4 returns to the previous hierarchy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode and displays the previous Time Base. 93 MIDI Implementation Chart/MMC List/Maintenance/Specifications (Digital Multitracker) Model FD-4 Function. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
