CHANNELS AND TRACKS

------

The terms "channel” and “track” are used in this operation manual to differentiate between the MT100 mixer section’s four

"channels” and the recorder section’s four “tracks.” “Track” is also used when referring to the four “tracks” actuaiiy recorded on the

tape.

O Input Jacks 1 — 4

These four input jacks accept signais from any iine-ievel

source such as an electronic musical instrument or a tape

player.

Inputs 1 and 2 also accept signals from electric musical in

struments such as electric guitars and basses, or micro

phones.

Inputs 1 through 4 are standard monaural 1/4” phone

jacks.

When a source is plugged into one of these jacks, its

signal is sent to the corresponding channel of the MTIOO’s

mixer.

Note: When no source is plugged into an input jack, the

output from the corresponding track of the MTIOO’s

recorder is automatically routed to that channel of

the mixer.

0 MIC/UNE Gain Controls (Channels 1 and 2 only)

The gain controls adjust the sensitivity of the channel-1

and channel-2 inputs to accept a wide range of signal

levels — from line to microphone. The gain controls are

used in conjunction with the channel-1 and channel-2 fad-

ers to set the optimum recording level with a wide range of

sources (see “SETTING RECORDING LEVELS” on page

12).

0 Channel Faders

The channel faders are used to adjust the level (volume)

of the corresponding mixer channel’s signal, whether it

comes from a source plugged into an input jack or from

the MT1 GO’S recorder section. The faders are used to set

up the optimum levels when recording, and to balance

(mix) the sound from the recorder’s tracks when playing

back a recording.

o REC SELECT Switches

The REC SELECT switches are used when recording to

assign (send) the signal from each mixer channel either

directly to the corresponding track of the recorder or to a

different track via the PAN controls (see “CHANNEL-TO-

TRACK ASSIGNMENT” on page 10).

Note: When any of the REC SELECT switches are set to a

position other than OFF, the red indicator LED

above the transport REC button will flash, indicating

that the MT100 is set up to record.

0 AUX SEND Controls

The AUX SEND controls are used primarily when adding

effects such as reverberation or echo to the sound of each

channel or track. The AUX SEND control on each mixer

channel determines the amount of signal from that chan

nel sent to the AUX SEND jack. The AUX SEND jack must

be connected to the input of an external signal processor

such as the YAMAHA R100 Reverb Processor (see “US

ING THÉ AUX ÇEND/RTN LOOP” on page 16).

The PAN controls assign the signal from the correspond

ing mixer channel to any desired position in the “stereo

sound field.” If a PAN control is set to the maximum

“LEFT” position, the signal from that channel will appear

only at the left-channel MT100 output (ST OUT L). If the

PAN control is set fully RIGHT, the signal will appear only

at the ST OUT R output jack. If a PAN control is set to its

center position, then the signal from that channel will ap

pear equally at both the left- and right-channel outputs,

and the sound will appear at the center of the stereo

sound field (at a point midway between the two stereo

speakers). Other PAN control settings place the sound at

positions roughly corresponding to the PAN control setting

by varying the level of the signal sent to the left- and right-

channel outputs.

The PAN controls can also be used during recording to

assign the signal from several channels to a single track of

the recorder section, or to assign a channel to a differ

ently-numbered recorder track (see “CHANNEL-TO-

TRACK ASSIGNMENT’ on page 10).
