are monitoring from the recording-destination
track channel will switch from the track playback
to the input signal (recording-source). (However,
recording will not actually occur.)
CWhen you reach the auto punch-out point, the
REC [●] key will go dark, and the signal that you
are monitoring from the recording-destination
track channel will return to the track playback.
DWhen you reach a point that is a specific distance
(the “post-roll time”) after the Out point (this point
is called the “post-roll point”), you will return to
the pre-roll point and stop.

If you are satisfied with the newly-recorded
content, save the song. (For the Save pro-
cedure → p. 63)
If you decide to re-do the recording, press the [UNDO/
REDO] key to discard the newly-recorded content,
and repeat steps 6–9.
The following diagram shows the auto punch-in/out
procedure.
• If you want to set the In and Out points more precisely, you
can use the Nudge function (
→
p. 71) which repeatedly plays
a short region before or after the current location, or use the
WAVE DISPLAY popup window (
→
p. 72) which lets you view
the contents of the track as a waveform.
• The In point and Out point will be updated each time you
record. The location at which you last started recording will be
registered as the In point, and the location at which you last
stopped recording will be registered as the Out point.

roll times are each set to four seconds. You can adjust these
values in a range of 0–5 seconds (
