Punch In/Out Rehearsal - Akai DPS12 Operator's Manual

Punch In/Out Rehearsal

Rehearsal is a function that enables you to practice playing instruments or singing a song, pretending to punch in/
out record. When the IN point is reached, the signal monitored through the record ready track changes from the
recorder's playback sound to the input source signal, but nothing is actually recorded. The Rehearsal function is
available for both Manual and Auto Punch In/Out functions. In this section, we offer the example of rehearsing the
auto punch in/out operation and explain how to use the function.
1. Specify the desired punch in/out points as IN and OUT points.
2. Select AUTO PUNCH for the Control Panel, and set the AUTO PUNCH parameter to "ON". (Refer to
page 86 for more information on the Control Panel.)
3. In the same Control Panel, set the REHEARSAL parameter to "ON".
The Rehearsal function is now turned on.
4. Locate a position a little before the auto punch-in point (a little before the IN point).
5. Use the [RECORD SELECT] key to select a recording track.
The selected track enters record-ready mode.
6. Press the [ ] button.
The playback starts and the
recorded sound) through the record-ready track.
When the counter reaches the IN point time, the monitoring signal through the record-ready track changes to
that of the input source (the currently recording performance). However, the
flash flashing, and no signal is recorded in the record-ready track.
When the counter reaches the OUT point time, the DPS12 resumes normal playback.
7. Press the [ ] button to stop playback.
