6 – Overview of operation modes
This unit has 4 operation modes as described below.
Timeline mode:
This amount offers a linear timeline working style that is like
working with tape.
In timeline mode, up to 4 tracks can be recorded and played
back. Marks, including BWF-J CUE points, can also be edited.
Take mode:
Uses takes (files) as recording and playback units.
Up to 4 tracks can be played back. Marks, including BWF-J
CUE points, can also be edited.
Playlist mode:
Provides a playlist playback function.
Furthermore, playlist mode has both a single mode, which
allows one playlist to be played back, and a dual mode,
which allows two playlists to be played back independently.
In single mode, up to four tracks can be played during
playlist playback. In dual mode, two two-track playlists can
be played back and controlled independently.
On-air mode
Use this mode to play selected audio files (only files that
match the sampling frequency set for the unit) in the root
folder of the current media.
Supports playback of up to 4 tracks.
Timeline mode functions
The following functions can be used in timeline mode.
i
Up to four channels of simultaneous recording and playback
is possible at all compatible sampling frequencies (Fs).

available when recording in 2-track polyphonic mode with a
sampling frequency of 44.1kHz/48kHz/48kHz±0.1% and the
mirror recording function is not being used.)
i The mirror recording function uses dual media slots. (This
cannot currently be used with confidence monitoring;
support is planned for a future version upgrade.)

designated timeline interval to a single file.
