Manually punching in and out using a foot switch

In operating the foot switch during playback of a song (manual patch in and out), press the foot switch once to punch in, then press it again to punch out.

In order to use a foot switch

When you are using a foot switch (BOSS FS-5U, Roland DP-2, etc.) to punch in and out, connect the foot switch to the FOOT SW jack on the BR-864 and change the function of the FOOT SW jack by following the procedure given below.

1.Press [UTILITY].

2.Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “SYS,” and press [ENTER].

3. Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] and select “Foot SW.”

4.Turn the TIME/VALUE dial and select “PUNCH” (PUNCH IN/OUT).

5.Press [UTILITY] (or press [EXIT] repeatedly) to return to the Play screen.

*During updating, “Keep power on!” appears in the upper line of the display, while the lower line shows what is being processed.

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.

Specifying the area for auto punching in/out

Before you begin recording, you must register the locations

at which punch-in and punch-out will occur automatically.

1.Register the location where you want to punch in. Move the location where you want to punch in and press AUTO PUNCH [IN] to register that location for automatic punch in.

At this time, the AUTO PUNCH [IN] indicator lights, telling you that the punch-in position is registered.

*If the AUTO PUNCH [IN] indicator is lit, you will automatically move to the registered punch-in time when this button is pressed.

2.Register the location where you want to punch out. Move the location where you want to punch out and press AUTO PUNCH [OUT] to register that location for automatic punch out.

At this time, the AUTO PUNCH [OUT] indicator lights, telling you that the punch-out position is registered.

*If the AUTO PUNCH [OUT] indicator is lit, you will automatically move to the registered punch-out time when this button is pressed.

If you want to punch in/out at a previously set locator point, press [LOCATOR] to move to the locator point, and press AUTO PUNCH [IN] or AUTO PUNCH [OUT].
