Auto punch-in/out

Here we will explain how to use the auto punch-in/out function, which performs the punch-
in and punch-out operations automatically. This function allows you to repeatedly perform
punch-in/out with single-frame accuracy (11.6 ms).
Specify the auto punch-in/out points
Before you begin auto punch-in/out, you must set the "auto punch-in point" at which punch-
in will occur, and the "auto punch-out point" at which punch-out will occur. The locations at
which recording/rehearsal was last started (last record in point) and ended (last record out
point) will be used as the auto punch-in/out points.
1. At the location where you wish to auto punch-in, hold down the SET button
and press the LAST REC SEARCH [IN] button.
The display will indicate "MARK IN," and this location will be specified as the auto punch-in
point.
2. At the location where you wish to auto punch-out, hold down the SET button
and press the LAST REC SEARCH [OUT] button.
The display will indicate "MARK OUT," and this location will be specified as the auto punch-
out point.
Note: It is not possible to perform auto punch-in/out if the auto punch-out point is earlier
than the auto punch-in point.
Note: When the MD4S is turned off, the auto punch-in/out points you set will be lost.
Tip: Auto punch-in/out points can be adjusted in steps of a single frame (11.6 ms). (See
"Adjusting the location of a marker or auto punch-in/out point" on page 63 for more
information.)
Setting the pre-roll/post-roll times
"Pre-roll time" is the length of playback that will occur immediately before the punch-in
point. "Post-roll time" is the length of playback that will occur immediately after the punch-
out point. On the MD4S, the pre-roll and post-roll times are each set to 5 seconds, but you can
modify this if desired. The location at which the pre-roll starts is called the "pre-roll point,"
and the location at which the post-roll ends is called the "post-roll point."
