Yamaha MT100II User Manual

CONGRATULATIONS!
Your MT100II Multitrack Cassette Recorder is a powerful recording 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 MT100II. Whether you need to record acoustic instruments or
voice using microphones, electronic instruments and line-level sources, or a creative blend
of the
two, the MT100II makes the process of building tracks extraordinarily smooth and simple. You can
simply record and remix four tracks, or use the multitrack “ping-pong” recording technique to in-
dividually record up to ten independent parts – adding sound layer by layer until you create
exactly the arrangement and texture your imagination demands with its ability to record on all four
tracks at once, or in any conbination, MT100II is the ideal choice for recording bands or layering
tracks at home. And, because it’s a YAMAHA, you know that the MT100II will give you the very
finest sound quality and overall performance available.
In order to make use
of the MT100II's many features and obtain maximum performance, we urge
you to read this operation manual thoroughly –
and keep it in a safe place
for later reference.
