Auto punching in and out

Automatically punching in and out at predetermined
locations (or times) in the song is referred to as "auto
punching in/out."
When you want to punch in and out at accurate times or
when you want to concentrate on playing rather than
punching in and out manually, the auto punch in/out
function is very useful.
Specifying the area for auto
punching in/out
