Punch In/Out

The Punch In/Out function enables you to re-record only a specified region on an already-recorded track. The
DPS12 offers a "Manual Punch In/Out function" that uses the transport keys and a foot switch, and an "Auto
Punch In/Out function" that automatically performs the punch in/out operation at specified positions. In this
example, we will modify part of the bass guitar performance recorded on track 3, using the Auto Punch In/Out
function. First, you need to specify and store the punch in point (IN point) and the punch out point (OUT point).
