Hi all.
I have a Ketron Audsys 5 which I bought to

1) Make backing tracks using the keyboard
2) Connect a mic and overdub vocals.

But it seems to be incredibly difficult to do so.
I have followed the instructions to the letter (select overdub mode, give name to file etc) but when it comes to pressing user button 5 to start recording, I press it and nothing...
Now I can get recording started by first pressing MENU and then f5 but this just starts a normal recording.
Whats worse - is if I try this and then start my backing track, then overdub, it seems to record (and post process) but the file afterwards is wildly out of sync. Like 2 secs between the backing track and the mic.
Ive tried several methods - all to no avail, so would genuinely appreciate any help here.
thanks
Mark.

some screenshots to explain

even if someone could post up a video on youtubeor something similar it would be appreciated.

Hi Mark,

I see you ARE doing it in the "wave" format. 'Fraid I can't help mate, I've never tried this before as we find it easier just to re-record everything live.

I'm so sorry I cannot help more mate. Maybe AJ will care enough to respond. TWD has not really said anything over here for awhile. I think even Sokratis may be able to help.

Come on my friends, please give some much needed input over here.

Been swamped with trying to complete the new SUPER STYLES so please excuse my delay .....

In order to over dub, you have to record the first track (as a wave file) by doing the following:-

* Press MENU
* AUDIO RECORDING
* Select recording format (wave)
* Press RECORD button to engage recorder.
* Set keyboard up (styles, voice .. etc) and press RECORD (U5/10) to actually start recording.
* When done, press STOP REC (U4/9).
* Press EXIT to return to default screen.
* Recording will be saved in WAVE folder as e.g. TEST1.Wav

TO OVER DUB (using the above wave file, or any other audio file):-
* Press MENU
* AUDIO RECORDING
* MIXDOWN (F4)
* Now select TEST1.WAV (which is what you just recorded) as this is what you want to record WITH.
* Press START RECORD (U5/10) when you are ready to start recording.
* Press ENTER (with TEST1.wav highlighted) whenever you want the previous track to start playing.
* AUDYA will now start recording (both the previous TEST1.WAV track AND what you are currently playing.
* When done, press STOP REC (U4/9).
* "Post Processing Record" will displayed for a short time as the new wave file is created (made up of the previous recording and what you just played. (TEST2.wav)
* To record again, repeat the OVER DUB process above, and use TEST.2 ... and so on.

Thanks,

AJ
