The operations described here are ones that you may use less often than the ones described earlier in this manual, but you will find use- ful in your work with the DP-01.

Location

This section tells you how to jump around to different parts of a song on the DP-01.

Direct location

The DPent position at the top of the display as hours:minutes:seconds:frames. There are 30 frames in a second.

From the “home screen” when the DP-01 is stopped, turn the jog wheel, so that the top time display blinks.

Use the and cursor keys to move the underline cursor between the different fields of the time shown at the top of the screen. In this case, the seconds field is selected.

To change the value of the highlighted (underlined) field, use the jog wheel. Fields “wrap round”, so going from 59 seconds to 0 seconds adds 1 to the minutes, etc. As you turn the jog wheel, the display blinks. If you leave the jog wheel untouched for a few seconds, or if you press ENTER, the display stops blinking.

If you want to edit another field, use the cursor keys to move to that field and then use the jog wheel to get to the time you're looking for.

Press PLAY to start playback from the position whose value has just been entered.

The DP-01 can also display the current time in bars and beats. See “Work-

ing in bars & beats” on page 36 for details.

Advanced techniques

Location marks

The DP-01can store up to 999 location marks per song! Use these to mark the start of verses, vocal entry points, etc.

To set a location mark (while stopped, recording or playing), press the INSERT key, or press and hold the SHIFT key and press the LOCATE (SET LOC) key at the point where you want the new mark.

Marks are shown on the display on the second line of the “home” screen. The mark number you see is the one at or immediately before the current position In the example below, “M023” indicates the twenty-third mark in the selected song.

Marks are num- bered in the order you enter them, not according to

their position in the song. Mark 999 can therefore appear in a song before mark 001.
