OCATION
The LX20 can find particular places on tape. Example: You might want to shuttle
rapidly between a chorus and verse while overdubbing; by storing these locations,
you can push the corresponding button to tell the tape to "go fetch," and park the
tape at the desired location.
E , F
DIT
These are really individual functions grouped in the same general area. They will
be described in detail as needed.
A L
UTO
The LX20 can automate certain tape movement procedures, such as automatically
returning to a particular point after overdubbing, playing a section repeatedly,
automated "punching" to record over a specific section of a track (e.g., a bad phrase
in an otherwise perfect vocal), and so on. The Auto Play, Auto Return and Auto
Record buttons, in conjunction with the Location buttons, control the auto functions.
