Loop function in auto punch in/out mode

When the loop mode is active (while 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 (while 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 reduces the number of key presses, allowing you to concentrate on playing.

You can change the pre-roll and post-roll time within the range between 0.1 and 10.0 seconds (in 0.1 second steps) in the menu mode (see page 126).
