Cycle - Akai RE32 Operator's Manual

CYCLE

With CYCLE switched on, the system will play repetitively between the IN/OUT points you have
marked.
This may also be used in combination with the PRE-ROLL key (see below) and the AUTO-PUNCH
function.
With PRE-ROLL switched ON, the repeat will play for a time before the IN time as set by the PRE-
ROLL. It will then play for a time after the OUT time as set by the PRE-ROLL. For example, with a
PRE-ROLL of 5 seconds, the cycle will play from 5 seconds before the IN time and for 5 seconds
after the OUT time. I.e.:
It is also possible to use this with the AUTO punch in/out function.
For example, with CYCLE, AUTO and PRE-ROLL on, you can automate your recordings very
conveniently. The PRE-ROLL will cause playback to commence at a set amount before the IN time
and will then play back for the same amount after the OUT time, punching in and out at the IN/OUT
times accordingly. In this way, you can set a 'run in' and a 'post-roll' to an auto punch in/out.
NOTE: The CYCLE function does not offer 'seamless' looping and there will be a small gap in
playback as the connected machines cycle back to the IN point. The exact length of the gap
depends on the IN>OUT length.
