I have a question. I record using the Realtime Record mode. I record a trumpet on Rt1 (Track 1) and an alto sax on Rt2 (Track 2). I play them back and they play as recorded. Then I use the Track Merge feature to merge Tracks 1 & 2 to Track 9. When I play Track 9, the alto sax voice has been changed to a trumpet. Why? What is the sense of having a Track Merge feature if you cannot merge two tracks containing different information (trumpet and sax for example)?

In the days of multi-track tape recorders we could merge tracks containing violins, trumpets, saxophones or whatever and they would be faithfully reproduced on the new track. It makes no sense to me to have a Track Merge feature if it restricts you to a single voice when merging.

Can someone shed some light on this subject? Thanks.
