<About "part">

A "part" is defined as audio data between the "LOCATE A" and "LOCATE B" points. Therefore, you have to set the "LOCATE A" and "LOCATE B" points when editing a "part".

The punch-in and punch-out points set for the auto punch in/out function also can be used as the "LOCATE A" and "LO- CATE B" points.
