Repeat

Repeat allows you to repeat the playback or auto-punched rehearsal (see “Rehearsal” on page 32) between the IN and OUT points.

First, set the IN and OUT points at the place where you want the repeat loop to start and stop (see “IN and OUT marks” on page 29).

Press the REPEAT key briefly so that the indicator lights. Playback starts automatically from the IN point.

When the playback reaches the OUT point, playback pauses for a short while (see “Setting the repeat interval” on page 35) and the PLAY indicator flashes before playback starts again, and the PLAY indicator lights steadily.

Turn off the repeat function by pressing REPEAT so that the indicator goes out.

Repeat auto-punch rehearsal, but not repeat auto-punch recording, is also possible. If AUTO PUNCH, RHSL and REPEAT are all lit, pressing RHSL to go from rehearsal to auto punch recording mode will also turn off REPEAT.

You can’t set these points when the

REPEAT key is lit.

Setting the repeat interval

You can set the time between repeats up to 9.9 seconds.

Press and hold the REPEAT key for about a second, and the screen shows:

Use the jog wheel to set the repeat interval from 0.5 seconds to 9.9 sec- onds in 0.1 second steps.

Press REPEAT again briefly to exit the interval setting mode.

This repeat interval allows you to repo- sition your hands for a guitar lick,

take a breath for a vocal phrase, etc., when you are rehearsing.
