• The Last Punch In= and Out= fields:

These two fields are indicators only—they cannot be manually changed.

They are used to indicate the exact locations of the punch-in and punch-

out that was last performed manually .

• The <Turn on > soft key:

Pressing this turns on the Auto Punch function, as indicated by the

status light above the key. If Auto Punch is already on, the soft key text

shows <Turn off> and pressing it turns both Auto Punch and the light off.

• The <Use 'Last'> soft key:

Pressing this soft key causes the contents of the Last Punch In= and

Out= fields to be copied into the Auto Punch In= and Out= fields. This is

useful when you want Auto Punch to repeat the last manual punch

automatically.

To perform the AUTO PUNCH:

Once you have entered the punch-in and punch-out locations and you

have turned Auto Punch mode on by pressing SOFT KEY 1, locate to a

position within the sequence that is a few bars before the punch-in point.

Then enter Record mode as usual by pressing PLAY and RECORD

simultaneously. Since the Auto Punch function is on, however, Record

mode is not yet entered. Instead, the RECORD light blinks until the

punch-in point is reached. When it is reached, Record mode is

automatically entered and the RECORD light stops blinking and stays on

continuously. When the punch-out point is reached, Record mode is

automatically exited and the RECORD light goes off, but play continues.

It is also possible to use Auto Punch to enter and exit Overdub mode

automatically. To do this, follow the example given above, but instead of

pressing RECORD, press OVERDUB. The mode that is entered is

determined by which key is pressed, RECORD or OVERDUB.
