Basic Locate function

The Locate function enables you to locate the desired point (move the current position of the recorder) immediately. There are two locate methods: storing the desired locate point (time or bar/beat/clock value) into the memory keys, and locating the point without storing it.

This section explains “Locating the top of the Program” and “Locating the last recording point in the Program” and do not involve storing locate points. Refer to the Reference Manual for information on storing and locating locate points.

On this recorder, the top of the Program on the disk is called “ABS 0” and the end of the recorded area is called “REC END.” (If the Program has no data recorded, ABS 0 corresponds to REC END.) You can use this function to locate the ABS 0 or REC END point immediately, regardless of the current recorder position.
