Punch In/Out

Punch IN/OUT recording enables you to record over previously recorded parts. This function comes in handy in the following cases.

*If a recording is unsatisfactory in either recording or performance and you want to redo it.

*If you want to record a solo part to another track while listening to the backup tracks.

PUNCH IN refers to the process to switching from PLAY to REC. On the other hand, PUNCH OUT refers to the reverse process, to switch from REC to PLAY. The time to punch in is called the PUNCH IN point, and the time to punch out is called the PUNCH OUT point. The VF160EX features the following 3 types of PUNCH IN/OUT modes.

* MANUAL PUNCH IN/OUT using the key on the main unit

This feature is used for rough recordings. Manual punch in/out is not recommended during a performance since the process requires using your hands.

* PUNCH IN/OUT using the foot switch

Recording is possible even during a performance since all punch in/out processes are controlled from the foot switch.

* AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT

Detailed recording is possible since recording takes place with the punch in/out time preset (programmed) prior to the recording.

Use the [DIRECT-RECTRK]key to put the track to record in the READY mode. The [TRIM] must be adjusted to an optimal gain according to the input monitor. When this is set, do the following:
