Recording a Track
To begin recording a track using the FS300 footswitches, follow these steps:
1. Press the B-RECORD footswitch. The TRACK 1 button will automatically light red, which will arm it
to record, and the recorder will begin recording on this track. The TIME display will begin counting off
the recording time.
2. Once recording is completed, press the A-STOP/UNDO footswitch. This stops the recording
process, and saves the track. The TIME display will show the elapsed time used and the TRACK 1
button will be lit green indicating it is now enabled for playback.
Playing Back a Recorded Track
After a track has been recorded, playing it back is simple. If you are at the end of the track or the song,
press the
C-PLAY footswitch. The recorder automatically begins playing back the track/song from the
very beginning. If you want to start playback at the beginning of a track or song but are someplace other
than the end of the song, follow these steps:
1. Press the A-STOP/UNDO footswitch twice. This will rewind to the beginning of the current song.
2. Press the C-PLAY footswitch. The newly recorded track is automatically armed in PLAY status (track
button is lit green) and the track begins playing back.
Recording Multiple Tracks
After a track has been recorded, you may want to record other tracks (overdub) that will play along with
it. You will want to play the previously recorded track(s) as a monitoring source while recording new
tracks. To overdub a new track with previously recorded tracks do the following:
1. Return the Song to the beginning by pressing the A-STOP/UNDO footswitch twice.
2. Press the B-RECORD footswitch. The next available track for recording will automatically light red,
which arms it to record, and the recorder begins recording on this track. The TIME display begins
counting off the recording time.
3.When recording is complete, press the A-STOP/UNDO footswitch.
Punching In / Punching Out
There may be times you will want to record in the middle of a song rather than from the very beginning.
Rather than recording on a new track at the very beginning and wasting recording time with silence, you
will want to “punch in” the phrase you want to record at a certain point on the track and then punch
out. To punch in record do the following:
1. Arm the track you want to punch in record on (TRACK button is flashing red).
2. Press the
C-PLAY footswitch. Any tracks that are armed for playback will begin playing and the
TRACK button armed for recording will remain flashing red.
3.When you reach the point in the playback that you want the recording to begin, press the B-
RECORD footswitch. The TRACK button armed for recording will now light solid red and recording
will now begin on this track at this point.
4.When you are finished recording, press the C-PLAY footswitch to continue listening to playback and
disable the track armed for recording, or press the A-STOP/UNDO footswitch to stop.
