Using Locators

One of the fastest ways to move around in your song is to use the locators. Time locators are stored for each song using the LOCATOR buttons ([1]-[8]). The VS-1824 provides 64 different locators per song. The locators are organized into eight banks, with eight locators per bank. Each button stores a single time location in the song, and you can move instantly to the stored time by pressing the button. The locators also provide a useful and convenient way to define sections of a song for Loop Recording, to store points for Punch-In recording, and to store track editing values.
