Footswitch Punch-In/Out
Manual punch-in/out can also be carried out using a footswitch, especially useful if you are playing
an instrument and operating the DR16pro simultaneously.
1) Connect a footswitch to the FOOT SW connection on the front panel.
2) Set up the DR16pro so that it is ready to record.
Record setup procedures are explained on the preceding pages.
3) Arm the channel that you want to use for punch-in/out.
The TRACK REC key of the armed channel will flash.
4) Rewind to a position before the point at which you want to punch in.
5) Press the Play
6) When the desired punch-in point is reached, press the footswitch.
Punch-in will occur as soon as you press the footswitch.
7) Press the footswitch again to punch out.
