The LX20 lets you concentrate on making music by automating several common
processes, including location, recording, and playback.
A
UTOLOCATION
Autolocation is the process of having the tape transport search for a point on the
tape that was previously marked as an autolocation point. After finding the
specified autolocation point, the tape "parks" at that point (or begins playback).

button.
L
OCATE
You can store 4 Locate Points, (specific tape locations) either "on the fly" while the
transport is engaged, or when the transport is stopped. Typically, these locations
are beginnings of verses, choruses, bridges, solos, etc. to make it easy to find any
section of a song. Locate points can also be edited.
