Advanced techniques

To move to a location mark Press and hold the LOCATE key, and briefly press and release the REW or F FWD key to move to the previous or next mark in the song. This works while playing back, while stopped or “winding”, but not while recording.

5Alternatively, press and hold the LOCATE key for about a second to show the location mark list:

Use the jog wheel to choose a mark (they’re listed in the order they

appear in the song) and press ENTER to jump to that mark.

To delete a location mark Stop playback (or recording) and locate to the mark you want to delete (or a little after). Press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the INSERT (DELETE) key.

To edit a location mark If you made a mistake when you entered a location mark, you can change the time of the mark.

cursor key to select

 

it.

 

You can’t undo this.

This is sometimes called “trimming”.

The marks are shown in the order they appear in the song, not by

number.

3Use the wheel to move the mark backwards and forwards by 1/10 frame (the rightmost digit of the number). You can’t move a mark for- ward past the next mark in the list, or backwards to before the previous mark in the list.

4Press ENTER when done (to return to the home screen) or EXIT (to return to the mark list).

1/10 frame is 1/300 of a second—about

3.3 milliseconds

IN and OUT marks

These marks are used for setting the points at which automated punch recording starts and ends and for repeat playback, as well as for track editing. You can set these marks while playing back, recording, or while playback is stopped.

Set IN and OUT marks by pressing and holding the SHIFT key and pressing IN (SET IN) or OUT (SET OUT) at the appropriate points.

Locate to the IN and OUT points by simply pressing IN and OUT.

Fine-tune the position of the IN and OUT points by pressing and holding SHIFT and pressing TRACK EDIT (POINT EDIT):

Edit the point, to 1/10 frame accuracy, using the cursor keys and the jog wheel, in the same way as for direct location (“Direct location” on page 28).

Press ENTER when done.

IN and OUT marks are also used (along with the TO mark, which is

set and used in the same way) when performing track editing func- tions.
