button.
If you repeat this operation to all the Tracks including
the Recorded data, you can Erase the Whole Song.
b) Punch In/Out
If you do the Punch In/Out you can Re-record just the part
where you made an error in units of 1 Bar.
This can be very helpful because when you make one or
two mistakes in the Song, you don't have to Re-record the
Whole Song again. First, you move the Bar to the location
you want to start retaking, using FAST FORWARD or
REWIND button. Then, decide which Track you want to
retake, and follow the steps of "d. How to Record a Song".
New Data, from the Beginning of the Bar at which you Start
up (Punch In) to the End of the Bar at which you Stop to
Re-record (Punch Out), will now replace Old Data, and the
Data before and after the Punched-In Data will remain
exactly the same as before. When you press the STOP
button to Punch Out after correcting the mistake, the Bar
location will automatically move back to the beginning Bar
where you just Punched In. This is useful for when you Re-
record the same section as many times you wish.
