When the V-take number of the bounce target track and the V-take number for playback are different, only one track of the bounced material may be played back. To perform bounce recording in stereo, set the V-take of the bounce target to "Current" (currently selected V-take). If performing bounce with a setting other than "Current", make sure that the correct V-takes are selected for the stereo track in playback.
For information on selecting the V-take for the bounce target, see "Selecting the recording destination V-take" on page 44 to 45 of the operation manual. For information on switching the V-take for each track, see "Switching V-takes" on page 36 of the operation manual.

Yes, this is possible. Recorded data in the HD16 are stored as WAV files which can be easily copied to a computer connected via USB, using drag & drop. For details, see the section "File transfer to and from a computer" on pages 161 - 162 of the operation manual. |
|
| A: |
The HD16 does not provide direct data compatibility with other models of the MRS series. However, because the HD16 can import WAV files, it is possible to import audio data from other MRS series models by converting these data into WAV format first.
* To convert audio data of a MRS series unit into WAV format, an MRS series USB board (UIB-01/02) and the conversion software "Audio File Manager" are required. |

The marker point is stored in memory using the minute/second/millisecond information of the recorder section. Each time you perform a locate operation using the measure/beat/tick indication, the display value is calculated again, based on the tempo and beat information of the rhythm section. This calculation may lead to a slight error. To get the most accurate locate result, you should use the minute/second/millisecond indication. |
