Finding A Precise Time Location; Locate Points (Loc1, Loc2, Loc3) - Korg D8 Owner's Manual

2. Finding a precise time
location
If you wish to find the exact time location at which
a sound begins, or when setting locate points or
storing marks, you can use the Scrub function or
the Play From/Play To functions to find and select
time locations more accurately.
The Scrub function
On the D8 you can perform Scrubbing just as on an
open reel tape recorder. By rotating the [VALUE] dial
you can playback the song to accurately find a desired
moment in time. This is called the "Scrub" function.
1
Set the [TRACK STATUS] to PLAY (indicator lit
green) for the track that you wish to scrub.
2
Press the [SCRUB] key to turn on the
Scrub function (indicator lit).
3
Rotate the [VALUE] dial to find the precise location
while you listen to the sound. The track will play-
back linked with the movement of the [VALUE]
dial.
At this time, the level meter will show the pre-
fader volume level of each track.
When the dial is not moving, the volume level at
that time will be displayed.
Play From/Play To/Slow Play functions
1
Set [TRACK STATUS] to PLAY (indicator lit green)
for the track that you wish to scrub.
2
Press the [SCRUB] key to turn on the Scrub func-
tion (indicator lit).
3
Press the [PLAY] key, and playback will occur from
the current time for two seconds, and will then
stop. Then you will automatically return to the
location at which playback began (Play From).
Hold down the [STOP] key and press the [PLAY]
key, and the sound will playback from approxi-
mately two seconds before the current time, and
will then stop (Play To).
Press the [FF] key, and the sound will playback
from the current time at half-speed, and will stop
and automatically return to the playback start loca-
tion when you press the [STOP] key (Slow Play).
PLAY STOP
It is convenient to use the Scrub function or Slow Play
to find the precise time, and then to use the Play
From/Play To functions to verify that time location.
3. Locate points
(LOC1, LOC2, LOC3)
You can store a specific time location, and then
move instantly to that location at any time. For
each song, you can store three "Locate" points, and
also one hundred "Mark" points. In addition to
being used to move instantly to a desired time,
Locate points are also used as the in/out times for
Auto Punch In/Out recording, and to specify the
in/out/to times for track editing operations. (Refer
to p.31)
Storing a Locate point
Here's how to use the Locate function to store the
current time. A time that has been stored in this
way is called a "Locate point".
1
Move the current time to the location that you wish
to store. (Refer to "1. Moving the current time",
SCRUB
p.24)
2
Press the [STORE] key to prepare to store the time.
The display will indicate "Store".

destination In, Out, To)", and the current time will
be stored to the key.
Release the key, and the previous page will reap-
pear.

use the above steps 2 and following to store a
