Repeat Play

Operating procedure

To interrupt REPEAT sequence

Note 1

Note 2

The REPEAT function provides a "Playback Loop" or "Block Repeat" between the two programmed MEMO points. The 424 MKIII understands the lower MEMO point as the start point of the loop, and the higher point as the end.

1.Use MEMO IN and LOC 1 and LOC 2 (as explained above) to establish the beginning and the end of loop.

2.Press the REPEAT key. The tape will fast wind to the lower MEMO point.

3.As soon as that location is reached, the tape will automatically start playing to the higher MEMO location.

4.When the tape reaches the end of the loop, it will automatically rewind to the lower MEMO location and start over.

Press any transport keys (except Play). The function pressed will be activated. If the tape is wound outside the repeat loop points, the REPEAT LED that was on solid will start blinking.

To resume the REPEAT sequence –;

-Press the LOC 1 or LOC 2 key.

OR

-If you are now within the loop or shortly behind the lower MEMO point, press PLAY.

Repeat Play does not work while the 424 MKIII is in Record mode (REC LED is blinking or lights on solid).

A space of 0003 or more (as controlled on the tape counter) is required between two memo points. If you create a smaller loop and press REPEAT, the REPEAT indicator does not light up in the display and both the MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 indicators flash, showing that the loop cannot be played.
