Note the Following:
• Any punch-ins will be destructively performed on the Virtual Tape. There is no undo!
• No new clips will be created for each punch-in, only the underlying tape will be modified.
• Any attempt to punch-in outside the tape will fail.
Known limitations:
• Punching in on fresh parts of the tape (still silent) may result in small clicks at the punch-in points for now.
Fades on Punch-ins in Virtual Tape Mode will be implemented soon.
• For now, there is no waveform support.

Discontinuous TimeCode

Auto-Punch mode allows a whole tape with discontinuous TimeCode to automatically be recorded.
• Set all desired tracks is auto-punch mode
• Place Mark In at 00:00:00:00 and Mark Out at 23:59:59:24 (default values for a new project)
• Plug LTC Out from the tape machine into Pyramix
• Set Chase mode to HARD CHASE
• Rewind the tape
• Press Play on the tape machine
Each time a valid TC is encountered Pyramix will lock and start recording a new clip, then stop when the timecode
jumps. A separate media file will be created for each continuous timecode on the tape.
