Scrub Function

When editing a sound, some times you need to know exactly where the sound starts, or exactly where the recording with an auto punch in starts.

To enable you to find these points accurately, the BR-864 is equipped with the Scrub Function.

When you use the Scrub Function during playback (called “scrubbing”), the portion from your before or after the current location (approximately 45 msec) is played back and repeated.

Preview Function

With the Preview Function, you can playback the one-second portion of the song before or after your current position.

By using this together with the Scrub Function, at the same time slowly moving your current position in the song, it becomes easy to find the exact transition point from one phrase to the next.
