Chapter 2 Before you start (VS-880 terminology)

Storing a time location, method 2 (Mark Points)

The Tap Marker function lets you assign up to 1000 marks (mark points) to each song. To move to a mark point, you can either directly specify the mark point number, or move to successive mark points. This lets you move through a song in a way similar to using the index search buttons of a CD player. Mark points can also be used to specify loop areas or the area for auto punch-in record- ing.

< Mark point numbers >

Each mark point is assigned a number 000-999, in the order of its time location. This means that if you add a new mark point at a location earlier than an existing mark point, the numbers of the subsequent mark points will be incremented.

For example if you add a mark point located after mark point 2, subsequent mark points will be renumbered as shown in the following diagram.
