key to set the respective point. The display
returns to the home screen.

Press

Setting the time between repeats

On tape systems, it is common to use a repeat loop
for rehearsal. However, because of the nature of tape
systems, there is a definite gap between the end of
the repeat loop and the start of the loop as it is
replayed. On a disc system, the join between the end
and the start of the loop can be seamless, which does
not allow the listener to prepare for the next loop (for
instance, a vocalist may need to draw a breath before
starting the vocal phrase).

The 788 allows you to set an interval between the end
of a repeat loop and the start of the next playback of
the loop:

1

Press and hold down the

REPEAT

key. The

REP. INTERVAL

pop-up screen

appears.

2

Use the dial to change the interval between
repeats from

0.0

seconds (seamless) through

to

9.9

seconds in 0.1 second steps.

3

Remove the pop-up screen by pressing

ENTER

.

NOTE

You can enter the repeat interval screen while playback is
stopped, or while playback, either repeat or normal, is tak-
ing place. You cannot set this value while recording is tak-
ing place.
