Chapter 2: Recording on the DPS12

Using a locate point

After you have finished recording the first track, you may want to store the points (time values) where a tune or

tone changes, such as the end of the intro, the start of the chorus, bridge, etc., as locate points before you start

recording the next track. If you store locate points, they are useful when you wish to start recording in the middle

of the song or redo recording repeatedly, since a simple key operation will locate the desired point (this operation

is called “locating”). The PDS12 offers quick locate points that can be assigned to the [CHANNEL SELECT] keys

1–12, as well as normal locate points that can be named and stored in a list. This section describes how to store the

quick locate points.

1. Press the [ ] key to play back the song from the beginning.

2. Press the [MEMORY] key at the point you wish to store as a quick locate point.

The display shows the LOCATE MEMORY window, in which you can store the locate point.

✐

TIP :

You can stop the transport section at a desired point and press the

[MEMORY]

key to store a quick

locate point.

3. Press any one of the [CHANNEL SELECT] keys 1–12.

The LOCATE MEMORY window closes and the desired point is stored as a quick locate point in the selected

[CHANNEL SELECT] key.

✐

TIPS :

• You may store locate points in the

[IN]

key and

[OUT]

key, instead of the

[CHANNEL SELECT]

keys.

However, since the

[IN]

key and

[OUT]

key are also used to specify Punch In/Out points and edit regions,

you may wish to first use the

[CHANNEL SELECT]

keys to store the locate points.

• You can also name the locate points and store them in the list in the LOCATE MOEMRY window. Refer

to “Chapter 3: Transport/Locate operation.”

4. Repeat Steps 2–4 until necessary quick locate points are all stored.

5. To locate the stored quick locate point, press the [GO TO] key when the DPS12 is stopped.

The LOCATE LIST window appears where you can perform the locate operation.

6. Press the [CHANNEL SELECT] key that is assigned to the quick locate point.

The LOCATE LIST window closes and the DPS12 locates the specified point.

✐

TIP :

You can select a locate point stored in the list in the LOCATE LIST window or locate the top or the

end of the song. Refer to “Chapter 3: Transport/Locate operation” for more information.
