Punching

Punching

As mentioned in “Punch recording” on page 25, the DP-01 provides two manual ways of changing between playback and recording modes: using the PLAY and RECORD keys, and using the foot switch. There is also an automated punch mode, described here.

Rehearsal

The autounch mode allows you to rehearse your playing before actually making a recording.

1First, set the IN and OUT points (“IN and OUT marks” on page 29) so that they correspond to the points where you want recording to start, and where you want it to finish.

The RHSL key indi- cates you are in "rehearsal" mode, as long as AUTO

PUNCH is not lit. Your rehearsal take(s) is not actually recorded.

2Assign an input or inputs to a track or tracks (“Assigning inputs” on page 23), and arm those track(s) for recording (press the track’s REC key so that it flashes).

3Press the AUTO PUNCH key so that it lights.

4Press the RHSL (rehearsal) key so that it lights.

5Press the PLAY key.

Playback starts from before the IN point (the PLAY indicator is lit).

If you’re replacing a mistake, make sure that the sound you are recording

matches the sound you're replacing (same effect settings, etc.).

At the IN point, the playback of the armed track(s) stops. The RECORD indicator starts to flash, indicating this the point where recording would start were you actually punching in.

At the OUT point, the signal you hear returns to what you recorded earlier. The RECORD indicator stops flashing.

When playback reaches the post-roll point, it stops. When you do your next rehearsal or punch, playback will start from the pre-roll point.

If the IN and OUT points are not where they should be for your

punch recording operation, you can turn off AUTO PUNCH and edit their position (See “IN and OUT marks” on page 29).
