Using auto punch-in/out

Auto punch-in/out is a function that lets you specify

beforehand the region to be re-recorded. Punch-in will occur

automatically when you reach the starting location (In

point), and punch-out will occur automatically when you

reach the ending location (Out point). This is convenient for

example when you cannot operate the MRS-802 because

you are playing the instrument yourself, or when very fast

playback/record switching is required.

In order to perform auto punch-in/out, you must first specify

the In point (switch point from playback to recording) and

Out point (switch point from recording to playback), and

then perform the recording operation. The procedure is as

follows.

1.

Raise the fader of the track where you want to

perform auto punch-in/out to a suitable position.

2.

While playing the instrument connected to the

input jack, use the [INPUT] control and [REC

LEVEL] control to adjust the recording level.

3.

Locate the point at which you want to punch-in,

and press the [AUTO PUNCH-IN/OUT] key.

The [AUTO PUNCH-IN/OUT] key flashes. This sets the “In

point” at which recording will begin.

4.

Locate the point at which you want to punch-out,

and press the [AUTO PUNCH-IN/OUT] button once

more.

This sets the “Out point” at which recording will end. The

[AUTO PUNCH-IN/OUT] button will change from flashing

to solidly lit. This indicates that the auto punch-in/out

function is now enabled.

H

INT

If you want to specify the in/out points precisely, it is

convenient to use the scrub function (

p. 44) to find the

locations and assign a mark (

p. 42) beforehand at the

desired locations.

5.

Use the Locate function to go to a spot slightly

before the In point.

6.

Repeatedly press the status key for the track on

which you want to perform punch-in/out, until the

key flashes red.

N

OTE

A status key that is lit red means that the current location is

between the In point and Out point. In this case, operate the

transport once again to locate to a point that is earlier than

the In point.

7.

If you want to rehearse the auto punch-in/out,

press the PLAY [

R

]key.

The recorder will begin playing. When you reach the In

point, the track on which you are punching-in/out will be

muted. When you reach the Out point, muting will be

defeated. (You will always be able to monitor the input

signal during this time.) Performing this action will not

delete or record anything on the track.

When you are finished rehearsing, move again to a location

earlier than the In point. If necessary, adjust the In/Out

points.

8.

To actually perform auto punch-in/out, hold down

the REC [

O

] key and press the PLAY [

R

] key.

The recorder operates in playback mode. When you reach
