MR-8 Owner’s Manual

Loop function in auto punch in/out mode

When the loop mode is active (and the auto punch in/out mode is inactive), the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points are used as the loop start and end points. When the auto punch in/out mode is active (and the loop mode is inactive), the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points are used as the punch-in and punch-out points.

When both the auto punch in/out and loop modes are active, the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points are used as the punch-in and punch-out points, while the loop function starts at "the LOCATE A point minus the pre-roll time" and ends at "the LOCATE B point plus the post-roll time, as shown below. The pre-roll time is initially set to four seconds, while the post-roll time is set to one second.

<Note>

If you set the LOCATE A point to the beginning of a song (ABS ZERO) or set the LOCATE B point to the recording end point (REC END) of a song, the pre-roll or post-roll time is ignored.

Using the loop function in the auto punch in/out mode allows you to minimize the key opera- tion and concentrate on playing.
