Examples of re-recording with various Punch In/Out settings
This instrument features several different ways you use the Punch In/Out function.
The illustrations below indicate a variety of situations in which selected measures
in an eight-measure phrase are re-recorded.
Pedal Punch In/Out settings
When this is set to ON, you can use the Foot Pedal 2 to control the punch-in and
punch-out points. While a Song is playing back, pressing (and holding) the Foot
Pedal 2 instantly enables Punch In recording, while releasing the pedal stops
recording (Punch Out).You can press and release the Foot Pedal 2 as often as you
want during playback, to punch in/out of overwrite recording. Note that the current
function assignment of the Foot Pedal 2 is cancelled when the Pedal Punch In/Out
function is set to ON.
