RECORD SELECT SWITCHES
These switches are used to choose the signal to be
recorded. The upper left switch is for track 1, the upper
right switch is for track 2, the lower left switch is for
track 3, and the lower right switch is for track 4.
When the track is not to be recording, set the corres-
ponding switch to the OFF position. Switch ON only
those switches corresponding to the tracks which are
to record. The panel indications for “L” and “R” corres-
pond to the stereo left and right signals, whereas “1”,
“2”,“3”and “4” correspond to the signal from the 1,
2, 3, and 4 input channels. Those signals are recorded
on their respective track when the switches are in
position.
NOTE: Tracks 1 and 3 cannot be recorded on the right
stereo signal, and tracks 2 and 4 cannot be
recorded on the left stereo signal.
REC INDICATOR
Recording status is indicated in the following three ways:
No indication:
All tracks 1—4 are not recording.
Flashing:
All tracks 1—4 are in recording standby mode. By
pushing only the REC switch the tape is put into
the recording standby mode.
Indication ON:
PITCH CONTROL
All tracks 1—4 are recording, or in the REC pause
mode. To resume recording during REC pause, press
the PAUSE switch
REC SWITCH
When this switch is pressed, the PLAY switch also
moves, and the unit goes into the recording mode.
However, if the RECORD SELECT switches for all tracks
1—4 are switched OFF, nothing will be recorded.
NOTE:
When the REC switch is pressed down, noise
occurs which is recorded on the tape. In order
to prevent this, we recommended the use of the
PAUSE switch Press the PAUSE switch first,
then press the REC switch. To start recording,
press the PAUSE switch again to shift out of the
REC pause mode and into the recording mode.
PLAY SWITCH
Press this switch for playback. However, if the input
selector switch (1) of a track is not in the TAPE position,
the sound will not be heard on the stereo buss.
REW SWlTCH (REWIND)
Use this switch to rewind the tape. Pressing it when
the MT1X is in the PLAY mode enables you to hear the
sound of the tape while it rewinds. This feature is use-
ful for finding the beginning of a song or other recorded
material.
FF SWITCH (FAST FORWARD)
Use this switch to quickly advance the tape forward.
Pressing it when the MT1X is in the PLAY mode enables
you to hear the sound of the tape while it is moved for-
ward. This feature is useful for cueing up the start of
a subsequent song or other recorded material on the
tape.
STOP SWITCH
Press this to stop tape run.
PAUSE SWITCH
Press this switch to momentarily stop playback or
recording in progress. Press it again to restart.
dbx SWITCH
Ordinary cassette tapes don’t have sufficient dynamic
range (the level difference between the softest sounds
and the loudest peaks) to adequately record highly
dynamic music. If the dbx switch is put “ON” during
recording, highly dynamic music signals can be ade-
quately handled, while the hiss noise inherent to cassette
tapes is kept down below the range of human hearing.
If the dbx switch is kept “ON” during recording, it must
also be kept “ON” during playback.
During recording or playback, this control can be used
to vary the tape running speed from +10% to -10%.
The pitch of voices or musical instruments also varies
in proportion to tape speed.
Under normal conditions, the control should be in the
center position. When overdubbing (playing back a
recorded passage while recording new material on a dif-
ferent track) the pitch of the previously recorded material
can be altered to match the new material if necessary.
This feature can also be used to obtain certain special
effects during recording.
TAPE COUNTER
This displays the amount of tape run.
RESET SWITCH
Press this switch to reset the tape counter to “000”.
Pressing this switch at the start of recording, or at the
beginning of a song, makes it easy to cue up the selec-
tion from the start.
ZERO STOP SWITCH
If this switch is set “ON” during rewinding, the tape
will stop when the tape counter reaches “999”. During
multitrack recording, this feature is convenient for
repeated playback or recording operations after rewind.
