Using a foot switch for manual punch-in/out

You can switch between playback and recording by pressing a PS-1 foot switch (sold separately).

1-4. Re-recording a specific area: Punch-in/out

If you make just one mistake in a recorded performance, or are not satisfied with a portion of the performance, you can use “punch-in/out” recording to fix just that portion without having to re-record from the beginning of the song.

“Punch-in” is the action of switching the song from the playback to the record mode, and “punch-out” is the action of switching from the record mode back to the playback mode.

Manual punch-in/out

Here’s how you can punch-in and punch-out manually. During playback, press the [REC] key or an optional PS-1 foot switch to begin recording, and then press the [REC] key, [PLAY] key, or foot switch to stop recording.

1Connect your input device, select a track for recording,

and adjust the recording level. Refer to “1-1. Basic recording” (→ p.53).

2Specify the monitor output.

•Access the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “Monitor” tab page.

3Specify the function of the foot switch.

Set “Func (FootSwFunction)” to “PunchIn-Out.”

4Perform steps 5 and 6 of “Manual punch-in/out,” but press the foot switch instead of the [REC] key. (You may use the foot switch and [REC] key in conjunction with each other.)

You can also use the foot switch to record from the beginning of the song. To do so, set “Func” in step 3 to “Play/Stop.”

At the beginning of the song, press the [REC] key (the LED will blink), and then press the foot switch to begin recording.

Auto punch-in/out

The auto punch-in/out function automatically performs a punch-in and punch-out at pre specified locations.
