Model D2424 Reference Manual (Names and Functions)

22. Locate key [LOCATE]

Use this key to start to start the LOCATE feature. Pressing this key after a memory key (CLIPBOARD IN/OUT, AUTO RTN START/END, AUTO PUNCH IN/ OUT) locates the memory data programmed in each respective key (time mode or bar, beat, clock setting). The data can be programmed by individually setting it with one of the 99 (01-99) LOCATE numbers of the [LOCATE] key.

Note that the data of memory number 00 is available in addition to LOCATE numbers 01-99. The last LOCATE time setting (bar, beat, clock setting) constantly replaces the data stored in the [LOCATE] key as data in memory number 00. Therefore, it is possible to press this key alone to repeatedly LOCATE the same point.

These data can be individually stored in programs P1-P99. The data for each program is SAVED or LOADED for each program when the song data is designated for SAVE/LOAD in the SETUP mode. This data is maintained even when the power is turned OFF.
