Operation of the INPUT SELECT buttons
The INPUT SELECT buttons are used to select which of the
BR-1600CD’s input sources is to be activated. Furthermore,
whenever an input source is selected using one of these
buttons, a suitable insert effect will be selected automatically.
●
If a lit INPUT SELECT button is pressed, that button will
turn off and the corresponding input source will be
muted. If pressed again, the button will light up and
muting will be canceled.
●
If an INPUT SELECT button is pressed while another is
lit, the input source selection will be switched
accordingly.
The following section describes the action of the BR-1600CD
for various input source selections.
[GUITAR/BASS]
[GUITAR/BASS] will light up to indicate that the input
source connected to either the GUITAR/BASS jack or the
INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack has been selected. (Note that priority
will be given to the GUITAR/BASS jack when an instrument
is connected to it.)
An effect will be automatically selected from the insert
effects’ guitar bank, and this will be applied to either the
GUITAR/BASS or INPUT 1/MIC 1 input source. If the effect
is off at this time, it will be turned on automatically.
In addition, a mono track will be automatically selected as
the recording track. (However, if a stereo track was
previously selected, a stereo track will again be selected at
this time.)
* Adaptive Focus (AF) will be activated for recording in this case.
What is Adaptive Focus (AF)?
Adaptive Focus is a unique Roland technology that
allows the signal noise (S/N) ratios of AD and DA
converters to be vastly improved.
[VOCAL]
[VOCAL] will light up to indicate that the input source
connected to the INPUT 2/MIC 2 jack has been selected.
An effect will be automatically selected from the insert
effects’ microphone bank, and this will be applied to the
INPUT 2/MIC 2 input source. If the effect is off at this time, it
will be turned on automatically.
In addition, a mono track will be automatically selected as
the recording track. (However, if a stereo track was
previously selected, a stereo track will again be selected at
this time.)
[SIMUL]
[GUITAR/BASS] and [VOCAL] will light up, indicating that
the input source connected to either the GUITAR/BASS jack
or the INPUT 1 / MIC 1 jack has been selected together with
the input source connected to the INPUT 2 / MIC 2 jack.
(When an instrument is connected to the GUITAR/BASS
jack, the INPUT 1 / MIC 1 jack will be deactivated.)
An effect will be automatically selected from the insert
effects' SIMUL bank, and this will be applied both to the
GUITAR/BASS or INPUT 1 / MIC 1 input source and to the
INPUT 2 / MIC 2 input source. If the effect is off at this time,
it will be turned on automatically.
In addition, two tracks will be simultaneously selected as the
recording tracks. (However, if a single track was previously
selected, a single track will again be selected at this time.)
If the track button corresponding to one of the selected pair
of tracks is pressed, the number of recording tracks will be
switched to one. If the track button corresponding to a single
selected recording track is pressed, the number of recording
tracks will be switched to two.
[MULTI-TRACK]
[MULTI-TRACK] will light up to indicate that the input
sources connected to INPUT 1/MIC 1 through INPUT 8/
MIC 8 have been selected. (Note that when an instrument is
connected to the GUITAR/BASS jack, priority will be given
to this jack over the INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack.)
When this mode is used, each source will be recorded on the
corresponding track (i.e., 1 through 8 or 9/10 through 15/16).
(Track buttons 1 through 8 or 9/10 through 15/16 will all
turn red and start to flash.)
An effect will be automatically selected from the insert effects’
multi-channel bank, and this will be applied to the input sources. If
the effect is off at this time, it will be turned on automatically.
The INPUT LEVEL knob can be used to adjust the overall
volume of the input sources while maintaining the balance
between them. To adjust the volume of a specific input
source, use the corresponding INPUT SENS knob.
[STEREO TRACKS]
[STEREO TRACKS] will light up to indicate that the input
sources connected to INPUT 1/MIC 1 through INPUT 8/
MIC 8 have been selected. (Note that when an instrument is
connected the GUITAR/BASS jack, priority will be given to
this jack over the INPUT 1/MIC 1 jack.)
The input audio for these sources will be mixed and recorded
to a stereo track. (However, if a mono track was previously
selected, a mono track will again be selected at this time.)
An effect will be automatically selected from the insert effects’
stereo bank, and this will be applied to the input sources. If the
effect is off at this time, it will be turned on automatically.
The INPUT LEVEL knob can be used to adjust the volume of
the mixed audio sources. To adjust the volume of a specific
input source, use the corresponding INPUT SENS knob.
