In the step 3) above, if you press only the [PLAY] key, a “rehearsal” of auto punch in/out recording starts and “RHSL” lights up on the screen.

In the rehearsal mode, when the recorder reaches the punch in point, only the monitor of the armed track(s) switches to “Input monitor” without perform- ing actual recording.

You can rehearse as many times as you like before actual recording.

Hint:

If you use the loop function together with the re- hearsal mode, you can rehearse your playing re- peatedly without the need of the recorder opera- tion, allowing you to concentrate on your playing. See “Recorder functions” for details about the loop function.
