Select the Punch-in Record Mode

For punch-in recording you must first select the punch-in mode after engaging the record ready mode (step 4 of the realtime record process, described above). Press the [F6] function key (“PUNCH”) to select the punch-in record mode.

Specify the Punch-in & Punch-out Points

Specify the “punch-in” and “punch-out” points, the punch-in point being the measure and beat at which recording will begin, and the punch-out point being the measure and beat at which recording will end.

Move the cursor to the punch-in and punch-out measure and beat parameters and set as required. Then, before actually starting recording, set the measure parameter a few measures before the punch-in point so you’ll be ready to record when the punch-in point is reached.

Start the Punch-in Record Operation

Start the punch-in operation by pressing the key (there is no count-in when punch-in recording is started). Recording will begin automatically at the specified punch-in point.

Stop the Punch-in Record Operation

Recording will stop, but playback will continue, when the punch-out point is

reached. Press the key to stop playback.

In the example display above, playback will begin at the first measure, recording will begin on the first beat of the third measure and then stop on the fourth beat of the fifth measure.
