Combining multiple tracks on
another track (Bounce function)
“Bounce” is a function that mixes the contents of
audio track 1 – 4 and the drum/bass track, and
records them on one or two tracks. (This is
sometimes also called “ping-pong recording”.)
Even if all tracks 1 – 4 have all been recorded, you
can transfer the result to one or two empty V-takes.
By subsequently switching the V-takes, you can
then listen to the bounced content and perform
further recording. This technique also allows you to
perform mixdown entirely within the PS-04,
without using an external master recorder.

• You can also mix input signals into the
bounce recording.
• If you select only one track as the bounce
destination, the signal mixed to mono will be
recorded.
