Auto Punch-In/Out — Re-recording a pre-specified
region of the track
There is also a way to automatically punch-in and punch-
out without having to manually press a key or step on a
pedal switch at the desired moment. This is convenient iff
you’re recording a performance (such as guitar) that
requires both hands.
1 Specify the time location where you want to begin
recording.
Set the [MODE] knob to “LOCATE.” Then use the
play and stop operations to move to the desired loca-
tion. In this mode, you can also press the CURSOR
[] key to make the counter display blink and use
the [VALUE] dial to specify the time location where
you want to begin recording. Press the [STORE] key;
the key will light. In this state, pressing the [IN
(LOC1)] key will store the current time location as the
punch-in point (the time location at which recording
will automatically begin).
2 Specify the time location where you want to stop
recording.
Using the same procedure as in the previous step, set
the counter to the location where you want to stop
recording. Press the [STORE] key; the key will light. In
this state, pressing the [OUT (LOC2)] key will store the
current time location as the punch-out point (the time
location at which recording will automatically end).
3 Press the [PUNCH] key.
When this key is lit, the auto punch-in/out function is
on. The display will indicate “RollTime.” Use the
[VALUE] dial to specify the roll time (the length of the
audio playback that will occur before recording
begins, specified as a number of measures). Set this to
“0” if you want to begin recording immediately, or to
about “2” if you need some playback time to get ready.
4 Press the [REC] key to put the D4 in record-ready
mode.
5 Begin Auto-Punch In / Out recording.
When you’re ready, press the [PLAY] key to begin
recording. Playback will begin earlier than the punch-in
point as specified by the roll time, and recording will
begin automatically when you reach the punch-in point.
When you reach the punch-out point, recording will
end and the track will automatically resume playback.
6 Press the [STOP] key to stop playback.
If desired, you can press the [UNDO] key to return to the
state prior to recording. (→p.26)
