Also, playing back with [TRACK STATUS] set to REC will allow you to hear the sound just as it was recorded, without passing through the fader or EQ.
■Using a foot switch for Manual Punch In/Out
By pressing a foot switch (sold separately), you can switch between playback and recording while you play an instrument, or from a remote location. This method can also be used when you wish to begin recording immediately from the precise beginning of the song.
✧Connect your foot switch to the FOOT SW jack. Press the [SYSTEM] key several times (indicator lit) to access the “Fsw” display. Then rotate the [VALUE] dial to select PncI/O. Now you will be able to press the foot switch instead of pressing the [REC] key in steps 5 and 6 of the above procedure.

previous state. After the Undo function has been
used, a “
