Chapter 7: Advanced Technique for Mixing

Adding sounds during mixdown

The DPS16 is capable of playing back up to sixteen physical tracks via the TRACK MIX channels in the mixer

section. Send signals from INPUT jacks 1–8 and/or the DIGITAL IN jack to the Master section to mix with

TRACK MIX channel signals. For example, if you have a MIDI sequencer synchronized with the DPS16, you can

mix signals from synthesizers or samplers. This section explains how to add more synthesizer signals from INPUT

jacks 1 and 2 during mixdown. (See page 132 for more information on synchronizing a MIDI sequencer to the

DPS16.)

1. Connect the synthesizer to INPUT jacks 1 and 2, and use [INPUT TRIM] knobs 1 and 2 to adjust the

input levels.

2. Place the DPS16 in Quick Patch mode and set it so that Inputs 1 and 2 signals are sent to the mixer

section.

Now, the synthesizer signal routed to the INPUT jacks 1 and 2 is sent to the Master section and mixed with

signals on TRACK MIX channels 1–16, and output from the MASTER OUT and DIGITAL OUT jacks.

3. Press the [MIXER] key to place the DPS16 in Mixer mode.

4. While playing the DPS16 and the MIDI sequencer in sync, set the level, pan, and EQ parameters for

TRACK MIX channels 1–16 and INPUT MIX channels 1 and 2.

5. Start recording on the master recorder for mixdown.

TIP :

You can also insert the internal effects to any channels. For more information, refer to “Using effects

during ping-pong recording” in Chapter 13.
