NotesThe X-28 will perform all of the standard multitrack recording techniques, such as overdubbing, punch-in recording and ping-pong recording. In addition, effects processing is available with the AUX send and stereo AUX return functions. Included among the features and fuctions of the X-28 are: • An eight-input mixer with four gain-adjustable mic/line inputs and four line inputs, all of which can be used for simultaneous recording. • Logic-controlled transport buttons for ease of use and sure transport control. • A large, backlit LCD display that features a digital tape counter, meters for all four tape tracks and stereo outputs, and tape transport indicators. • A rehearsal function, in the punch-in/out mode, that allows you to hear and practice a punch-in recording before the actual take. • Switchable Dolby B noise reduction. • Four-track simultaneous recording. • When used with an optional MIDI-to-FSK converter, the operation of the X-28 can be synchronized with MIDI sequencers and rhythm machines, allowing you to simultaneously run multiple musical instruments and signal sources.
