BEDIENUNGSANLEITUNG

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your

MTIOO

Multitrack

Cassette

Recorder

is

a

fine

creative

tool

that

will

enable

you

to

work

with

sound

in

many

ways.

No

other

multitrack

cassette

recorder

offers

the

straightforward

simplicity

and

ease-of-use

of

the

MTIOO.

Whether

you

need

to

record

acoustic

instruments

or

voice

using

micro¬

phones,

electronic

instruments

and

sources

via

direct

line,

or

a

creative

blend

of

the

two,

the

MTIOO

makes

the

process

of

building

up

your

own

sound

extraordinarily

smooth

and

simple.

You

can

simply

record

and

remix

four

tracks,

or

use

the

multitrack

"ping-pong"

recording

technique

to

individually

record

up

to

ten

independent

parts

—

adding

sound

layer

by

layer

until

you

create

exactly

the

arrangement

and

texture

your

imagination

demands.

The

MTIOO

is

just

as

easy

to

use

alone

or

with

a

band.

And,

because

it’s

a

YAMAHA,

you

know

that

the

MTIOO

will

give

you

the

very

finest

sound

quality

and

overall

performance

available.

In

order

to

make

use

of

the

MTIOO’s

many

features

and

obtain

maximum

performance,

we

urge

you

to

read

this

operation

manual

thoroughly

—

and

keep

it

in

a

^afe

place

for

later

reference.

-

CONTROL

PANEL

CHANNELS

AND

TRACKS

The

terms

“channel”

and

“track”

are

used

in

this

operation

manual

to

differentiate

between

the

MT100

mixer

section’s

four

“channels”

and

the

recorder

section’s

four

“tracks.”

“Track”

is

also

used

when

referring

to

the

four

“tracks"

actually

recorded

on

the

tape.

O

Input

Jacks

1

—

4

These

four

input

jacks

accept

signals

from

any

line-level

source

such

as

an

electronic

musical

instrument

or

a

tape

player.

Inputs

1

and

2

also

accept

signals

from

electric

musical

in¬

struments

such

as

electric

guitars

and

basses,

or

micro¬

phones.

Inputs

1

through

4

are

standard

monaural

1/4”

phone

jacks.

When

a

source

is

plugged

into

one

of

these

jacks,

its

signal

is

sent

to

the

corresponding

channel

of

the

MTIOO’s

mixer.

Note:

When

no

source

is

plugged

into

an

input

jack,

the

output

from

the

corresponding

track

of

the

MTIOO’s

recorder

is

automatically

routed

to

that

channel

of

the

mixer.

Q

MIC/LINE

Gain

Controls

(Channels

only)

The

gain

controls

adjust

the

sensitivity

of

the

channel-1

and

channel-2

inputs

to

accept

a

wide

range

of

signal

levels

—

from

line

to

microphone.

The

gain

controls

are

used

in

conjunction

with

the

channel-1

and

channel-2

fad-

ers

to

set

the

optimum

recording

level

with

a

wide

range

of

sources

(see

“SETTING

RECORDING

LEVELS”

on

page

).

0

Channel

Faders

The

channel

faders

are

used

to

adjust

the

level

(volume)

of

the

corresponding

mixer

channel’s

signal,

whether

it

comes

from

a

source

plugged

into

an

input

jack

or

from

the

MTIOO’s

recorder

section.

The

faders

are

used

to

set

up

the

optimum

levels

when

recording,

and

to

balance

(mix)

the

sound

from

the

recorder’s

tracks

when

playing

back

a

recording.

o

REC

SELECT

Switches

The

REC

SELECT

switches

are

used

when

recording

to

assign

(send)

the

signal

from

each

mixer

channel

either

directly

to

the

corresponding

track

of

the

recorder

or

to

a

different

track

via

the

PAN

controls

(see

“CHANNEL-TO-

TRACK

ASSIGNMENT”

on

page

10).

Note:

When

any

of

the

REC

SELECT

switches

are

set

to

a

position

other

than

OFF,

the

red

indicator

LED

above

the

transport

REC

button

will

flash,

indicating

that

the

MT100

is

set

up

to

0

AUX

SEND

Controls

The

AUX

SEND

controls

are

used

primarily

when

adding

effects

such

as

reverberation

or

echo

to

the

sound

of

each

channel

or

track.

The

AUX

SEND

control

on

each

mixer

channel

determines

the

amount

of

signal

from

that

chan¬

nel

sent

to

the

AUX

SEND

jack.

The

AUX

SEND

jack

must

be

connected

to

the

input

of

an

external

signal

processor

such

as

the

YAMAHA

R100

Reverb

Processor

(see

“US¬

ING

TH£

AUX

§END/RTN

LOOP”

on

page

16).

0

PAN

Controls

The

PAN

controls

assign

the

signal

from

the

correspond¬

ing

mixer

channel

to

any

desired

position

in

the

“stereo

sound

field.”

If

a

PAN

control

is

set

to

the

maximum

“LEFT”

position,

the

signal

from

that

channel

will

appear

only

at

the

left-channel

MT100

output

(ST

OUT

L).

If

the

PAN

control

is

set

fully

RIGHT,

the

signal

will

appear

only

at

the

ST

OUT

R

output

jack.

If

a

PAN

control

is

set

to

its

center

position,

then

the

signal

from

that

channel

will

ap¬

pear

equally

at

both

the

left-

and

right-channel

outputs,

and

the

sound

will

appear

at

the

center

of

the

stereo

sound

field

(at

a

point

midway

between

the

two

stereo

speakers).

Other

PAN

control

settings

place

the

sound

at

positions

roughly

corresponding

to

the

PAN

control

setting

by

varying

the

level

of

the

signal

sent

to

the

left-

and

right-

channel

outputs.

The

PAN

controls

can

also

be

used

during

recording

to

assign

the

signal

from

several

channels

to

a

single

track

of

the

recorder

section,

or

to

assign

a

channel

to

a

differ¬

ently-numbered

recorder

track

(see

“CHANNEL-TO-

TRACK

ASSIGNMENT’

on

page

10).

PAN

3

o

MASTER

Fader

The

MASTER

fader

sets

the

overall

output

level

of

the

MT100

mixer

section,

and

thus

the

level

of

the

output

signal

appearing

at

the

ST

OUT

jacks.

The

MASTER

fader

also

affects

recording

level

when

any

of

the

mixer

section’s

channels

are

assigned

to

the

recorder’s

tracks

via

the

PAN

controls

(see

"SETTING

RECORDING

LEV¬

ELS”

on

page

12).

o

PHONES

SELECT

Switch

The

MT100

permits

convenient

headphone

monitoring

via

a

pair

of

headphones

plugged

into

the

PHONES

jack.

The

PHONES

SELECT

switch

determines

which

signals

are

sent

to

the

PHONES

jack

for

monitoring.

MONITOR:

In

this

position

only

the

output

from

the

recorder’s

four

tracks

is

sent

directly

to

the

PHONES

jack

via

the

four

MONITOR

controls.

MIX:

Both

the

output

from

the

recorder’s

four

tracks

(via

the

MONITOR

controls)

and

the

stereo

output

from

the

mixer

section

are

sent

to

the

PHONES

jack.

STEREO:

Only

the

stereo

output

from

the

mixer

section

is

sent

to

the

PHONES

jack.

@

PHONES

Control

The

PHONES

control

independently

adjusts

the

level

of

the

headphone

signal,

making

it

simple

to

set

the

most

comfortable

monitoring

level.

(E)

PHONES

Jack

Any

pair

of

stereo

monitor

headphones

with

an

impedance

of

between

approximately

8

and

40

ohms

can

be

plugged

into

this

jack.

Headphone

monitoring

is

the

most

conven¬

ient

way

to

listen

to

the

MTIOO’s

various

signals,

and

we

recommend

that

you

obtain

a

pair

of

high-quality

monitor¬

ing

headphones

for

this

purpose.

The

YAMAHA

MH100

are

ideal.

0

AUX

RTN

processor

fed

by

the

AUX

SEND

jack

is

returned

and

mixed

in

with

the

MTIOO’s

main

stereo

output

signal.

The

output

from

an

external

signal

processor

fed

by

the

AUX

SEND

jack

must

be

con¬

nected

to

the

tracks

which

is

sent

to

the

PHONES

jack

when

the

PHONES

SELECT

switch

is

set

to

either

“MONITOR”

or

“MIX.”

The

MONI¬

TOR

controls

are

primarily

used

to

set

up

the

optimum

for

monitoring

recorded

tracks

while

recording

new

material

(overdubbing).

0

METER

0

dbx

ON/OFF

Switch

The

dbx

switch

determines

whether

the

MTIOO’s

internal

dbx

noise

reduction

system

is

ON

or

OFF.

For

normal

recording

and

playback

using

the

MTIOO,

the

dbx

switch

should

be

turned

ON.

This

provides

a

significantly

im¬

proved

signal-to-noise

ratio

(as

much

as

85

dB)

so

your

recordings

will

sound

cleaner

and

have

much

less

tape

hiss.

For

dbx

noise

reduction

to

be

effective,

it

must

be

turned

ON

both

during

recording

and

playback.

The

dbx

switch

may

be

turned

OFF

when

playing

back

tapes

that

were

recorded

on

other

equipment

and

which

are

not

dbx-encoded.

0

PITCH

Control

The

PITCH

control

varies

tape

speed

by

±10%,

making

it

possible

to

"tune”

material

recorded

on

the

MTIOO

to

match

the

pitch

of

musical

instruments,

or

to

slightly

lengthen

or

shorten

the

running

time

of

a

recording

to

meet

specific

timing

requirements.

Tape

speed

is

normal

when

the

control

is

set

to

its

center

click-stop

posi¬

tion.

Tape

speed

is

increased

by

sliding

the

control

to¬

wards

the

“-h”

end

of

the

scale,

and

decreased

by

sliding

the

control

towards

the

selects

either

the

standard

4.75-

cm/sec

cassette

tape

speed,

or

the

MTIOO’s

special

9.5-

high

tape

speed.

Use

the

standard

(4.75)

speed

when

replaying

tapes

recorded

on

standard

re¬

corders,

or

to

obtain

maximum

tape

economy.

When

you

want

maximum

sound

quality,

use

the

high

tape

speed.

The

improvement

in

sound

quality

provided

by

the

high

is

significant,

and

we

recommend

that

you

use

the

high

speed

for

all

STOP

Switch

The

ZERO

STOP

switch

provides

a

fast,

easy

way

to

lo¬

cate

a

specific

location

on

the

tape.

This

is

particularly

handy

in

multitrack

recording,

since

it

is

necessary

to

re¬

peatedly

rewind

the

tape

to

the

same

point

to

record

over¬

dubs

(i.e.

record

a

new

track

while

monitoring

previously

recorded

tracks).

To

use

the

ZERO

STOP

function,

set

the

tape

counter

(below)

to

"000”

at

the

point

you

wish

to

locate

by

pressing

the

RESET

button.

Then,

with

the

ZERO

STOP

switch

set

to

ON,

the

tape

will

automatically

stop

from

the

rewind

or

fast

forward

modes

when

the

counter

"000”

position

is

reached.

®

Tape

Counter

and

RESET

Button

This

three-digit

tape

counter

provides

a

handy

index

to

tape

position.

It’s

a

good

idea

to

write

down

the

counter

readings

for

important

points

of

a

recording,

so

you

can

locate

them

easily

afterwards.

The

button

resets

the

counter

to

"000”

at

the

current

ABOUT

CASSETTE

TAPES

This

unit

is

designed

to

be

used

only

with

Chrome-

position

tape,

and

will

not

work

properly

with

Ferri-

chrome

tape

formulations.

CrOa

tape

(Bias:

HIGH;

EQ:

70/iS)

should

be

used.

Also,

the

use

of

C-120

tapes

is

not

recommended

because

they

exhibit

poorer

perfor¬

mance,

and

can

be

the

cause

of

equipment

failure.

•

Preventing

accidental

erasure

of

recordings

To

keep

from

inadvertently

erasing

a

prized

recording,

all

cassette

tapes

have

record

protection

tabs

along

the

top

edge

of

the

cassette

shell.

If

this

tab

is

broken

out

using

a

screwdriver

or

any

other

appropriate

implement,

it

will

not

be

possible

to

record

on

the

corresponding

side

of

the

tape.

This

will

protect

your

recordings

from

accidental

erasure.

For

4-track

recording,

it's

necessary

to

break

out

the

tabs

for

both

the

A

and

B

sides

of

the

tape.

When

you'd

like

to

record

over

a

tape

with

the

tabs

broken

out,

just

cover

the

holes

(where

the

tabs

were)

with

tape.

•

PREVENTING

ACCIDENTAL

TAPE

ERASURE:

•

RECORDING

OVER

A

TAPE

WITH

THE

TABS

BROKEN

OUT:

Cover

the

hole

with

•

Taking

up

tape

slack

If

the

tape

is

used

when

it

is

slack,

or

some

portion

of

the

tape

is

out

of

the

cassette

shell,

there

is

a

risk

it

may

become

tangled

around

the

capstan

or

pinchroller.

In

order

to

correct

this,

insert

a

pencil

or

ballpoint

pen

into

the

center

of

one

reel,

and

rotate

to

take

up

loose

tape

slack.

•

Storing

cassette

tapes

To

prevent

tape

slack,

fit

a

stopper

into

the

tape

or

keep

tapes

in

their

cases.

Do

not

store

tapes

in

direct

sunlight,

or

in

places

with

high

heat

or

humidity,

as

this

may

damage

the

tapes.

Also,

keep

the

tapes

away

from

magnetic

fields,

such

as

near

televisions

or

speakers,

because

the

recordings

can

be

erased

or

sonically

altered

to

some

degree.
