Chapter 4: Punch In/Out
Punch In/Out operation using a foot switch
This section explains how to perform the punch in/out operation using a foot switch. This is useful when you are
playing instruments with both hands and you need to use your foot to punch in and out. With the exception of
performing the punch in/out operation with a foot switch, the operation of the DPS12 itself is the same as the
punch in/out operation using the transport buttons.
1. Select for the Control Panel and set the parameter to .
(Refer to page 94 for information on the Control Panel.)
2. Connect a foot switch to the FOOT SW. jack on the rear panel.
NOTES :
There are two types of foot switches: normal open (the contact is open when it is not pressed), and
normal closed (the contact is closed when it is not pressed). If a foot switch has been connected to the
DPS12, when you turn on the power to the DPS12, it automatically detects the type of foot switch
connected. You can use either type of foot switch. If a foot switch is not connected to the DPS12, when
you turn on the power to theDPS12, it automatically selects normal open mode.
Do not use a latch-type foot switch (open/close switching type) since it will not be detected correctly.
3. Locate a position a little before the punch in point.
4. Use the [RECORD SELECT] key to select a recording track.
The selected track enters record ready mode.
5. Press the [ ] button.
Playback starts, and the [ ] button’s LED lights up.
6. When the punch in point is reached, press the foot switch.
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 an actual punch in
take. Refer to page 51 for more information.
7. When the punch out point is reached, press the foot switch.
The recording is cancelled and the DPS12 resumes playback.
8. Press the [ ] button to stop playback.
