Chapter 4: Punch In/Out

Punch In/Out is a function that enables you to re-record only a specified part of the already recorded track(s). This

function is useful when you wish to correct mistakes in a recorded performance or extend the recording. This

chapter describes various uses of the Punch In/Out function.

Manual Punch In/Out

Manual Punch In/Out is to perform the punch in/out operation manually. You may use the transport buttons on the

DPS12 or a connected foot switch to use this function.

Punch In/Out operation using the transport buttons

The [ ] key and the [REC] key are used in this Punch in/out operation.

1. Locate a position a little before the punch in point.

2. Use the [RECORD SELECT] key to select a recording track.

The selected track enters record ready mode.

3. Press the [ ] button.

The playback starts, and the [ ] button’s LED lights up. You can monitor the recorder’s playback (previously-

recorded sound) through the record-ready track.

4. When the punch in point is reached, press the [REC] button while holding down the [ ] button.

The [REC] button’s LED lights up, and the selected track starts recording. The monitoring signal through the

recording track changes to that of the input source (currently recording performance).

TIP :

If the REHEARSAL parameter on the Control Panel has been turned on, the DPS12 enters

“Rehearsal mode” in which you can practice the punch in operation before you record a real punch in

take. Refer to page 51 for more information.

5. When the punch out point is reached, press the [ ] button.

The recording is cancelled and the DPS12 resumes playback.

6. Press the [ ] button to stop playback.
