Even if there is no audio data, playback will continue until you
press the STOP button.

nel you want to play (→p.26 “1. Virtual tracks”).

back.
Press the CH ON button (it will light).
Press the channel buttons to select On (lit orange) for
the tracks that you want to play.

from there.

This function lets you play repeatedly over the IN–OUT re-
gion of the song. This is a convenient way to check the con-
tent of that region, or you can use this function in conjunction
with Auto Punch recording to record repeatedly (→p.30).

press the ENTER/OK button to access the point setting
screen.

Refer to “Setting the In, Out, Pre, and Post locate points”
(p.29).
You don’t need to specify the “Pre=...” or “Post=...” settings
when using the Repeat Playback function. These settings are used
only for Repeat Recording.

page.
