Press the [LOCATE] key or [EXIT] key to return to the Locate display.

3Set the time to a location slightly earlier than the point where you want to begin recording. (→ p.32)

4Press the [PLAY] key to begin playback.

At this time you will hear only the playback of the track that will be recorded.

5At the point where you want to start recording, press the [REC] key.

Recording will begin (manual punch-in). Now you will be listening to the sound of the external input source.

6At the point where you want to stop recording, press the [REC] key.

Recording will end, and the track will switch back to playback (manual punch-out). Now you will be listen- ing to the playback of the track.

If you specify “RecLngth,” only the speciﬁed number of measures will be recorded, and then recording will stop automatically. (→ Count-In 2 , p.63)

7Press the [STOP] key to stop playback.

Count-in – recording after a speciﬁed number of mea- sures

When you are playing an instrument such as guitar that requires the use of both hands, you can initiate recording in almost the same way as punch-in, without having to actually operate the keys of the PXR4 at the moment recording begins.

1Specify the number of measures until when record- ing will begin.

Specify the number of measures that will play back before recording begins. Press the [SYSTEM] key, and use the [CURSOR] up/down keys to display the “Sys- tem” page. Press the [CURSOR] right key.

Press the [CURSOR] down key to display “Record,”

and press the [CURSOR] right key to display the “Count-In” page. (→ p.63)

Use the dial to specify the number of measures for the count-in. (You can specify up to 8 measures.) Record- ing will not occur during these measures.

If you want recording to begin immediately when you press the [PLAY] key from record-standby mode, set this to “0”.

2Specify the number of measures to be recorded.

From the “Count-In” page, press the [CURSOR] right key to display the “RecLngth” page. (→ p.63)
