Overdubbing-recording one
track
over
another-on
the
QX7
is
accomplished by
using
two
jobs:
EXCHANGE
and
TRACK DOWN.
Both
functions
are
described
below.
EXCHANGE,
however,
is
used
for
the
first
overdub
only,
while
TRACK
DOWN
is
used
for
all
subsequent
overdubs.

tne
EXCHANGE
job
is
the
first
step
in
overdubbing
over the
first
m^
CXChange
(Job
B-1)
recorded
track,
it
is
also useful
in
several
other
situations. Basically,
all
EXCHANGE
does
is
to
interchange the data
on
tracks
1
and
2:
the data
from
track
1
is
moved
to track
2,
while
the data
on
track
2
is
moved
to track
1
.
For the
purpose
of
ov-
erdubbing, the
EXCHANGE
job
is
called (press
JOB/STEP
SIZE
B/D
selector
once
from job A-1
)
after
recording the
first
track
on
TRACK
1
.
When
the
EXCHANGE
«
Using
the
TRACK
Buttons
Track
Down
(Job
B-3)
job
is
called
the
LED
display
will
read
\EC]
.
Execute
the
EXCHANGE
job
by
pressing
the
START
button.
You
can
cancel the
EXCHANGE
job
prior
to
executing
by
pressing
RESET. The
material
you
recorded
on
TRACK
1
will
now
be on
TRACK
2
(the
TRACK
2
LED
will light),
and
since
TRACK
2
was
empty,
TRACK
1
will
now
be
empty and
its
LED
will
go
out.
If
you
now
play the recording
by
pressing
the
START
button,
you
will
actually
be
hearing
TRACK
2.
Now
to
overdub
the
second
track,
simply follow
the
normal
real
time record
process:
press
RECORD
and
then
PLAY.
You
will
now
be
able to record the
second track-on
TRACK
1—
while
listening to
the
first
track
which
is
now
on
Track
2.
Press
STOP/CONTINUE
when
you're
finished.
To
hear
both
tracks
played
together,
simply
press
START.
Since
some
operations
can only be
carried
out
on
data
on
TRACK
1
,
the
EXCH
ANG
E
job
is
also
used
to
swap
tracks
in
order
to
perform
some
operation—
ERASE,
for
example-on
the
TRACK
2
data.
The
normal
track positions
can then be resumed
by
executing
EXCHANGE
again.
When
a
track
contains
data,
the
corresponding
TRACK
button
can be used
to turn
that track
on
or
off.
This
is
handy
when
both
tracks
contain
data,
but
you want
to
listen
to
only
the material
recorded
on one
track or
the
other.
Pressing the
TRACK
button
alternates
between
the
ON
and
OFF
modes:
LED
ON
=
track
ON.
This
job
is
only
used
when
both
TRACK
1
and 2
contain
data,
such
as
prior to
recording a
third
overdub.
The
TRACK
DOWN
job
combines
(mixes) the data
on
TRACK
1
and
TRACK
2,
and
places the
result
on
TRACK
2.
TRACK
1
is
left
empty.
Now,
supposing
you have
recorded your
first
two
tracks
and
have
data
on
both
Track
1
and
TRACK
2,
call
the
TRACK
DOWN
job
by
pressing the
JOB/STEP
SIZE
B/D
selector three
times
(LEDs
"B"
and
"3"
will
be
lit).
The
LED
display
will
read
,
indicating that
the
TRACK
DOWN
job
is
active.
Execute
the job
by
pressing
the
START
button
(or
cancel
by
pressing
RESET).
The
TRACK
1
indicator
will
go
out,
and
tracks
1
and
2
will
now
be
combined on
TRACK
2.
Verify
this
by
playing
TRACK
2.
The
third
overdub can
now
be recorded
on
TRACK
1
in
the
normal
way.
Subsequent overdubs
are
all
carried
out
in
the
same
fashion:
using
REAL
TIME
REC
and
TRACK DOWN.
