Chapter 2 Basic Operation
Deleting a Stored Time Location

TOR button ([1]–[8]) for locate point that you wish
to delete. For example, if you wish to delete the
LOCATOR 1's located point, then press [CLEAR]

Using Markers

Along with the playback locate points, you can set up
to 1000 Markers in sequence. The Markers are also a
useful and convenient way to define sections of a song
to be repeated in Loop Recording or for marking
points in Punch-In Recording.
* An interval of at least 0.1 seconds must left between mark-
ers. It will not be possible to add a new markers if a mark-
ers already exists at a location less than 0.1 seconds away.
Marking a Time Location
Press [TAP], and a marker will be added to the current
location. This can be done during recording or play-
back of the song as well as when the song is stopped.

About Marker Numbers
Each marker is assigned a number 000-999, in the
order of its time location. This means that if you
add a new marker at a location earlier than an
existing marker, the numbers of the subsequent
markers will be incremented.
