These buttons are used to operate the recorder.

[ZERO]: Return the current time to Ò00h00m00s00Ó (zero return).

[REW]: While the button is held down, the current time will be moved backward. This corre- sponds to the rewind button on a tape recorder.

[FF]: While the button is held down, the current time will be moved forward. This corre- sponds to the fast-forward button on a tape recorder.

[STOP]: Stop song recording/playback.

[PLAY]: Start song recording/playback from the cur- rent time.

[REC]: Press this button to record a song.

When this button is pressed to make the indicator light, the ten LOCATOR buttons will act as numeric keys to enter numerical values.

10.VARI PITCH button

Press this button when you wish to change the playback pitch.

11.UNDO button

Press this button to cancel a recording that you have made. Also, after performing a song edit operation, you can press this button to return to the condition before editing. When undo is executed, the button indicator will light.
