Chain Play Function - Fostex VF80EX Owner's Manual

Chain play function

The chain play function allows you to play back programs in order according to the "chain play list". As
examples in figure 1, you can play back programs in order of program number or in desired order.

You can play the whole (i.e. from ABS 0 to REC END) of each program in the chain play list as shown in figure
2, as well as a desired part(*) of each program as shown in figure 3.
<Note>
A desired part can be specified as a range between the START and END points. Therefore, if a program does not
have both the START and END points which are correctly set, the whole program (from ABS 0 to REC END) is
played back.

In addition, you can select a playback mode for the chain play function from among "Pause", "A. Play" and
"Repeat" (see below for details about each mode).
In this mode, the VF80EX plays back each program in the chain play list one by one.

Each time the VF80EX finishes playback of a program, it automatically pauses at the start point of the next
program. Pressing the [PLAY] key starts playback.
In this mode, the VF80EX plays back all programs in the chain play list continuously.
A. Play
After finishing playback of the last program, the VF80 pauses at the start point of the first program. Pressing
the [PLAY] key again starts playback of all programs in the chain play list continuously.
