Repeating Playback (Repeat)

By using the “Repeat function” you can repeatedly play back a specified part. Repeating playback allows you to check the mixing balance or perform loop recordings (p. 54) with the punch in/out functions.

The position in the song where [REPEAT] is pressed first becomes repeat start point (A), and the position where it is pressed a second time becomes repeat end point (B). The portion between the two points is then repeated during playback.

If the current location is beyond the repeat start point (A), press [REPEAT] twice to cancel the registration.

The [REPEAT] indicator goes out, and the registered repeat start point (A) and end point (B) are deleted.

and press [REPEAT].
