Now you can begin recording the mic input like any other track using the steps outlined in the Recording
a Track section.
Recorder Output Configuration
The BNX3’s analog and digital outputs can be configured in a number ways to best utilize the recorder
and bass processor both independently and simultaneously. If you plan on using the bass processing along
with playback of the recorder, there are several options for routing the bass processor and the recorder
signals independently of each other. This works well when either running directly into a mixer or using a
bass amp and mixer together. To set the Output configuration, follow these steps:
1. Press the
UTILITY
button.
2. Press the
MODE
or
DRUMS
button until the display reads
anlg out
. The default configuration
from the factory is
Stereo
.
3. Use the
DATA WHEEL
to select
mono
,
stereo
, or
B>l r>r
. The
Stereo
and
Mono
output
configurations have both recorder and bass processor mixed together while
b>l r>r
configures the
left and right analog outputs as a mono bass processor out and a mono recorder out respectively.
Monobass
,
sterbass
, or
biamp
configurations send bass processor signal only out the BNX3’s
analog outputs.
The S/PDIF digital output can also be configured in a variety of ways that best suit your recording or
performance situation. To setup the S/PDIF options, follow these steps:
1. Press the
UTILITY
button.
2. Press either the
MODE
or
DRUMS
button until the display reads
DIGI OUT
. The default
configuration from the factory is
bass+REC
. This configuration sends both bass processor and
recorder output to the S/PDIF output.
3. Use the
DATA WHEEL
to select
RECORDER
if only the recorder output is what you want sent to the
S/PDIF output. Configurations 2 and 3 are for the Dry Track setup (see the section on Digital Output
setup for more on Dry Track).
4. Press the
EXIT
button.
Working with Songs and Loops
A Song and a Loop are a group of recorded tracks. The BNX3’s recorder has 99 songs available to record to
as recording memory allows. With an optional 128 Meg Smart Media™ card, for example the BNX3 has a
total of 48 EP quality track minutes available. This would be the equivalent of four 3-minute, 4-track songs,
leaving no memory available for songs 5-99. Loops, however, are generally shorter in length so more loops
could be saved than songs in the same amount of memory.
Selecting Songs and Loops
Selecting songs on the BNX3’s recorder is easy. To select songs, follow these steps:
1. Press the
STOP
button (if the recorder isn’t already stopped).
2. Use the
F FWD
or
REWIND
buttons to select the next or previous song. The BNX3’s main display
shows
reading
and the number in the SONG display changes as the new song is selected. The TIME
display shows the selected song’s length.
NOTE: You can also use the DOWN and UP footswitches to select songs when Recorder
mode is active.
Deleting Songs and Loops
Deleting songs is a simple procedure. To delete songs, follow these steps:
