BECAUSE OF THE DESTRUCTIVE NATURE OF THIS FUNCTION, PLEASE MAKE
SURE IT IS NOT INADVERTENTLY SELECTED WHEN RECORDING AS YOU RUN THE
For example, if you are used to using non-destructive recording but receive a disk where
DESTRUCTIVE record mode is enabled, you may be working in your usual way, thinking
that new recordings are recoverable when, in fact, they are being deleted from disk every
time you record over them. A good example may be where you are repeatedly dropping in
over dialogue recordings, unaware that DESTRUCTIVE mode is set. You may think that you
can retrieve 'out-takes' after the artist has left only to find that only the very latest recordings
you made are available on disk. In this case, before recording over existing cues, please

PUNCH MODE
Version 1.00
The destructive record mode will go some way to avoiding the build up
of unnecessary audio on your disk but, given the above points, there
may be times when you will need to perform a manual cleanup or
minimise.

check that DESTRUCTIVE record mode has not been selected.
This selects how the system will respond if the record track selections
are changed while the transport is in record.
Available selections are:
NORMAL
TRACK KEYS
PRIMED
** WARNING **
This is the default setting. The record track selections
can not be changed while the transport is in record.
In this mode, the transport responds in the same
manner as a conventional MTR. Pressing the REC
and PLAY keys will put the system into a 'record-
ready' condition waiting for tracks to be punched in
from the track select keys. If no tracks are selected
at the time the REC and PLAY keys are pressed, the
REC key will flash. In this condition, when any of the
track select keys are pressed the system will punch
into record on the selected track(s) and the REC key
will light steadily. When a track select key is pressed
again, that track will be punched out of record.
In this mode, recording will start immediately on
selected tracks when the REC and PLAY keys are
first pressed. After this, if new record tracks are
selected, the appropriate track select key(s) will flash
indicating that the track is in 'record-ready', but
recording will not actually start until the PLAY key is
pressed again while holding down the REC key. While
in record, pressing the track select key of a track
that is actually recording will punch that track out of
record and back into the 'record-ready' state.
