Auto punching in and out

Automatically punching in and out at predetermined locations (or times) in the song is referred to as “auto punching in/out.”

When you want to punch in and out at accurate times or when you want to concentrate on playing rather than punching in and out manually, the auto punch in/out function is very useful.
