In the auto punch in/out function of this unit, the above
monitoring changes occur not only during the actual recording,
but also in the Rehearsal mode.
In Rehearsal mode, you can simulate the auto punch in/out
recording. Therefore, you can rehearse your performance and
also check whether the IN point and OUT point are appropri-
ately set.
You can also use the punch in/out in combination with the
repeat function. By using these functions in combination, you
can repeatedly rehearse the punch in/out recording, or record
the same section several times (multi-take), leaving the unit
working automatically to you. When performing multitrack
recording, you can choose the best from recorded takes.
Setting punch-in/out points
There are two ways to set the punch-in/out points.
LAST REC:
This option sets the start and end points of the last recording
(or recording rehearsal) as the punch in/out points.
The display returns to the Home screen, and
appears on the top of the screen.
IN - OUT:
This option sets the IN point and the OUT point as the punch
in/out points. The first of these points will be used as the
punch in point, and the second as the punch out point.
The display returns to the Home screen, and
appears on the top of the screen.

Checking punch-in/out points
When punch-in/out points are set, you can confirm the setting
by pressing the PLAY (t) button.
The playback starts from the pre-roll point and continues to the
post-roll point. When the punch-in point is reached, on tracks
armed for recording, already recorded audio will be muted and
only input signals will be heard. When the punch-out point is
reached, already recorded audio and input signals will both be
heard.
If you want to change the punch-in/out points, locate the
desired points and set them again.
If there are no problems with the punch-in/out points and
pre-roll and post-roll times rehearse recording, as described
below.
Rehearsing with automatic punching
You can rehearse before performing punch in/out. In the
rehearsal, the monitor operates the same way as for the actual
recording, but the recording is not performed.
1. When the AUTO PUNCH button is lit and one of the tracks is
in recording standby, press the REHEARSE button.
The REHEARSE button becomes lit.
2. Press the RECORD (0) button.
Auto punch in/out rehearsal starts.
• Playback starts from the pre-roll point. You can monitor
both the track playback signal and the input source
signal.
• When the punch in point is reached, the monitoring
changes to input source signal only, and the RECORD
(0) button starts flashing (to indicate this is a rehearsal).
• When the punch out point is reached, the monitoring of
both the track playback signal and input source signal
starts, and the RECORD (0) button becomes unlit.
• Playback continues until the post-roll point and stops.
Before starting your rehearsal, you can press the REPEAT
button (so that all three AUTO PUNCH, REHEARSE, and
REPEAT buttons become lit), to repeat the rehearsal
operation until you press the STOP (8) button.
