Using a Footswitch
Punch in/out can be performed by connecting an optional footswitch, the FC5, to the
PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the front panel of the MT400. This technique leaves your hands
free, and is useful if you play an instrument and operate the MT400 at the same time for
punch in/out recording. This section explains how to punch in a sound source connected to
MIC/LINE 4 onto Track 4.
