When using the S/P DIF input, make sure that the 
word clocks on all connected digital audio devices 
are configured correctly. For more information, see 
“System Clock” on page 644.
Note: Audio input settings for CD audio from the 
internal CD-R/RW drive or a USB-connected CD-
R/RW drive are made in “P5: Audio CD.”
Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) [L/R, IFX1…12, 1…8,
1/2…7/8, Off]
This specifies the main bus routing for the input signal.
L/R: The input signal will be sent to the L/R bus.
IFX1…12: The input signal will be sent to the IFX1–12 
bus. Choose one of these settings if you want to apply 
an insert effect while sampling.
1…8: The input signal will be sent to the specified 
INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT in monaural. The Pan setting 
will be ignored.
1/2…7/8: The input signal will be sent in stereo 
(including the effect of the Pan control) to the specified 
INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT pair.
Off: The input signal will not be routed directly to the 
outputs or Insert Effects. However, it may still be 
routed to an FX Control Bus or REC Bus.
FX Control Bus [Off, 1, 2]
This sends the external audio input signal to an FX 
Control bus (two stereo channels; FX Ctrl 1 and 2). See 
“FX Control Buses” on page 730.
REC Bus [Off, 1…4, 1/2, 3/4]
This sends the external audio input signal to the REC 
buses (four mono channels; 1…4).
Use the REC buses when you want to sample in 
various modes or to record audio tracks in Sequencer 
mode. These are dedicated buses for recording. 
You can sample these signals by setting Source Bus (0–
8c) to REC bus.
Normally you will set Source Bus (0–8c) to L/R, and 
sample the signal from the L/R bus. However, you can 
use the REC buses when you want to play the 
keyboard or play back an audio CD while sampling 
only the audio input. You can also mix several audio 
input sources to the REC buses, or mix the direct sound 
of an audio input with sound processed by an insert 
effect and mix them to the REC buses for sampling. See 
the diagram “Source Bus = REC Bus 1/2” (0–8c).
Off: The external audio signal will not be sent to the 
REC buses. Normally you will use the Off setting.
1…4: The external audio input signal will be sent to the 
specified REC bus. The Pan setting is ignored, and the 
signal is sent in monaural.
1/2, 3/4: The external audio input signal will be sent in 
stereo to the specified pair of REC buses. The Pan 
setting sends the signal in stereo to buses 1 and 2 or 
buses 3 and 4.
Send1 (to MFX1) [000…127]
Send2 (to MFX2) [000…127]
These adjust the levels at which the external audio 
input signal is sent to the master effects.
Send1 (to MFX1): Send the signal to master effect 1.
Send2 (to MFX2): Send the signal to master effect 2.
If Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) is set to IFX1–12, the send 
levels to the master effects are set by the post-IFX1–12 
Send1 and Send2 (8–5a).
Tip: You can use the control surface to control this 
parameter. (See “Using the control surface to adjust 
Audio Input” on page 11)
PLAY/MUTE [Off, On]
This indicates whether the external audio signal being 
input is in PLAY or MUTE status.
You can use the MIX PLAY/MUTE 1–6 switches to 
change this.
MUTE: The external audio input signal is muted 
(silent), and will not be input.
PLAY: The external audio input signal is being input 
according to the settings of the relevant parameters.
Tip: You can use the control surface to control this 
parameter. (See “Using the control surface to adjust 
Audio Input” on page 11)
SOLO On/Off
This indicates the SOLO status of each external audio 
signal input. You can use the MIX SELECT 1–6 
switches to change this.
Sound will be output only from channels for which 
SOLO is On. Samples, and multisamples will be 
muted.
The setting of the Exclusive Solo page menu command 
specifies how the Solo function will operate.
Exclusive Solo Off: Selected is off, you can solo 
multiple audio inputs. The solo status will change each 
time you press Solo On/Off.
Exclusive Solo On: Selected is on, pressing a Solo 
button will solo only that audio input.
The SOLO setting is not memorized when you 
Write.
Tip: You can hold down the ENTER switch and press 
numeric key 1 to switch Exclusive Solo on/off.
Tip: You can use the control surface to control this 
parameter. (See “Using the control surface to adjust 
Audio Input” on page 11)
Pan [L000…C064…R127]
This specifies the panning of the external audio input 
signal. When inputting a stereo audio source, you will 
normally set the inputs to L000 and R127 respectively. 
Tip: You can use the control surface to control this 
parameter. (See “Using the control surface to adjust 
Audio Input” on page 11.)
Level [0…127]
Specifies the level of the external audio signal that will 
be input. The default is 127.
For more information on using the inputs and setting 
levels, please see “Avoiding extraneous noise” on 
page 13, and “Tips for eliminating distortion when 
using the analog inputs” on page 14.
