You can use Auto Punch together with looped playback (Page 178) to automatically
record multiple takes of the same section as a performance is perfected. Set the loop so

A.PUNCH are lit during punching. You can retrieve past takes recorded with this
method using the Take Manager and New Phrase features, described in Chapter 19.
An auto-punch begins with the placement of Auto Punch IN and OUT points that tell
the VS-2000 where you want to punch in and where you want to punch out. There are a

You can manually edit the Auto Punch IN and OUT point locations to make their
placement more precise. See Page 191.
