Switching virtual tracks

On the AW2816, you can select and record or play-
back one of eight virtual tracks 1–8 for each of the
audio tracks 1–16.
For example when you are recording a solo part on
one of the tracks, you can switch virtual tracks to
record several takes, and later select the virtual track
that contains the best take. In this section we will
explain how to switch the virtual track that will be
used by a track.

Press the [TRACK] key
The display will show the TRACK screen V.Track
page.

This page contains the following information.
A
Track number
This is the track number 1–16.
B
Track name
This is the name assigned to the virtual track that
is selected for each track. Virtual tracks that have
already been recorded will be assigned a default
name of "V.Tr x-y" ("x" is the track number 1–16,
and "y" is the virtual track number 1–8).
This name can be changed later if desired
( P.109). Virtual tracks that have not yet been
recorded will be displayed as "-NO REC-".
C
Virtual track
The highlighted number is the virtual track that is
currently selected for each track 1–16. In the
illustration above, virtual track 1 is assigned to all
tracks 1–16 (this is the default state).
Of the virtual tracks that are not currently
selected, the track numbers that have been
recorded will be displayed with a frame; e.g.,

same way as channels. Paired tracks will operate in
tandem when selected for track editing operations or
when switching virtual tracks.
