M o v i n g t o a d e s i re d
point in a song (Locate
function)
You can specify a location within the song in
time units (minutes/seconds/milliseconds),
and move to that location.
1. While the main screen is shown,
press the right [PARAMETER/
VALUE] key once.
The indication "M" flashes on the display.
2. Use the left/right [PARAMETER/
VALUE] keys to move the flashing
indication.
To show the current position in minutes, "M"
should be flashing. For indication in seconds,
"S" should be flashing. For indication in
milliseconds, "mS" should be flashing.
3. Use the up/down [PARAMETER/
VALUE] keys to change the
numerical indication for the
currently selected unit.
While holding down the key for one
direction, pressing the key for the other
direction will cause a rapid change.
When the numbers have been changed, the
unit is at the corresponding song position.
Pressing the PLAY [
R] key will start
playback from that point.
4. To retur n to the main screen,
repeatedly press the left
[PARAMETER/VALUE] key until the
flashing stops.
Switching between time
and measure indication
The current point can be shown on the
display either as time or in measures.
1. While the main screen is shown,
press the left/right [PARAMETER/
VALUE] keys repeatedly until the
measure and beat indication is
shown on the display.
The display switches to measure indication
(measure number/beat count). When the
transport keys are used in this condition to
move in the song, the measure number/beat
count indication changes accordingly.
• The measure number and beat count shown
here have been converted using the
N OTE

If the measure indication and time indication
do not match, this symbol is shown.

the track on which you want to

Performing this action will not record
anything on the track.

pushed (actual operation)
