More advanced features

The DP-01 has many advanced features which you may want to use
later on. Though we don't want to go into all of them now, you should
be aware of a few of them now.

Using marks to locate positions

Although “Recording” on page 24 shows you some ways of moving
around in your song, the DP-01 provides you with ways to jump
around the song using location marks, as well as locating to locate
directly to a position you set.

See “Location” on page 28 for details of how to set and use these loca-
tion marks.

Punch recording

When we talk about “punch recording”, we mean going from play
mode into record mode without stopping the song (“punching in”) as
well as going from recording to playback without stopping the song
(“punching out”).

The DP 01 provides three ways to perform punching:

When at least one track is armed (the

REC

key is flashing), and a song

is being played back, press the

RECORD

transport key to punch in.

When recording, press the

PLAY

key to stop recording (punch out).

If you have a footswitch connected to the

PUNCH

jack, you can press

the footswitch to change between playback and recording, as long as at
least one track is armed for recording.

You can automate the punch process by setting in and out points. This
is described in “IN and OUT marks” on page 29 and also in “Punch-
ing” on page 32.

Bouncing

The DP-01 provides eight tracks for recording. But what happens if
you want to record more than eight instruments?

You can take existing tracks, mix them, and record them to unused tracks,
freeing up the tracks you just mixed for recording additional tracks. See
“Bouncing” on page 34 for full details.

Track editing

Because the DP-01 is a hard disk recorder, not a tape recorder,
there are many options available to you which would be extremely
difficult, or even impossible, with a tape-based recording system.

See “About track editing” on page 50 for details of copy, cut, and paste, etc.
operations that you can perform on the DP 01.

Undoing operations

Just like on many computer systems, you can undo many opera-
tions (including recording, if you record over something you
shouldn’t have done).

See the full explanation of how to use the

UNDO

and

REDO

functions in

“Undoing operations” on page 54.
