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.
