See page 23 for details about how to select a song.

2)Press the [PLAY] key to start playback.

The meters on the screen shows playback levels of tracks.

3)Use track faders to control track playback levels, as well as use the [MASTER] fader to control the total level.

If you monitor the sound via headphones, you can use the [PHONES VOL] control to adjust the monitor level.

4)Set the [PAN] control for each track (1~4) to the desired position.

Playback between LOCATE A and B points

When the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points are set, you can playback between these points once. This function is always available regardless of the play mode setting (see "Play mode" on page 50).

This function allows you to check the editing part (between LOCATE A and B points) for copy/paste, erase, etc. See "Part editing" on page 68.

<Note>

Note that you have to set the LOCATE A and B points to use this function.

See page 53 for details about how to set the LO- CATE A and B points.

The MR-8 plays back audio data between the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points once, then stops.
