Chapter 5: Recording/Playback
If you set the "Tone rec mode" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode appropri-
ately, the slate tone is automatically recorded at the beginning of an audio file which is
created when recording is made.
You can select the slate tone type between continuous tone and 4 pop tones. For details
about "Tone rec mode" menu item, see page 150.
<Notes>
• While sliding up and holding the [SLATE] switch to the "TONE" position, the slate
tone is output from the [ANALOG OUT] connectors, allowing you to calibrate
external devices.
• If you keep holding the [SLATE] switch for more than three seconds, the display
shows "--Slate tone hold--" and the slate tone is continuously output even if you
release the switch. In this condition, sliding up the [SLATE] switch again stops slate
tone output.
Recording a slate tone/slate mic signal
While sliding and holding the [SLATE] switch to "TONE" or "MIC", the slate tone (at 1kHz,
reference level) or the slate microphone signal is fed to all tracks, allowing you to record the
slate tone or the slate microphone signal during recording.
