Punch in/out
If you are not satisfied with your recording and want to modify only a specific part, you can replace the part with
a new recording using the punch in/out technique.
“Punch in” switches the transport mode from playback to recording, while “Punch out” switches the transport
mode from recording to playback. The point at which a punch in is carried out is called a “punch in point” , while
the point at which a punch out is carried out is called a “punch out point.”
You can carry out the punch in/out operation in 3 ways:
* Manual punch in/out using the keys on the unit
* Using the foot switch (Model 8051)
* Auto punch in/out function
After setting the punch in and out points, the punch
in/out can be took place automatically.

to be punched in/out are armed and the source input
level is set appropriately by using the
[TRIM] knob.
