You can use this function to locate the end point of a song or to check the length of a song.

Punch in/out

If you are not satisfied with your recording and want to modify only a specific part, you can replace the part with
a new recording using the punch in/out technique.
"Punch in" switches the transport mode from playback to recording, while "Punch out" switches the transport
mode from recording to playback. The point at which a punch in is carried out is called a "punch in point", while
the point at which a punch out is carried out is called a "punch out point."
You can carry out the punch in/out operation in 3 ways:

* Manual punch in/out using the keys on the unit

* Using the foot switch (Model 8051)
* Auto punch in/out function
After setting the punch in and out points, the punch
in/out can be took place automatically.
The following description is assumed that the track(s)
to be punched in/out are armed and the source input
level is set appropriately by using the [TRIM] knob.
