Recording a Locate position
Each song can record up to eight different Locate positions.
Since you can also fine-tune Locate positions that have
already been recorded, you can just roughly record Locate
positions while playing back or recording a song, then go
back and adjust them.
LOC0 (Rec Top) is automatically set to the position where
recording began and LOC9 (Rec End) to the position where
recording ended.
✳
If you save the song as an MRC Pro song , Locate posi-
tions will be stored as part of the song data.
<Procedure>
❶
Press [LOCATE] to open the Locate window.
“Cur” shows the current song position. The displayed posi-
tion will be recorded as the Locate position. Although a “***”
symbol is displayed for the clock or frame during playback
or recording, the displayed position’s clock or frame will
actually be recorded.
❷
Turn the VALUE dial, or press the numeric keys,
[INC], [DEC], [
u
] or [
d
] to move the cursor to the
Locate number (LOC1–LOC8) for which you want to
specify a Locate position.
To select a Locate position LOC5–LOC9 when LOC0–LOC4
are displayed, press [F2] (5-9). Press [F2] (0-4) for vice versa.
❸
Press [F5] (Set) to input the Locate position when the
desired Song position is reached during playback or
recording.
When the Locate position has been set, the Locate window
closes.
✳
The Locate position can also be set by inputting a
Locate number as you hold down [SHIFT], instead of
pressing [F5] (Set).
Fine-tuning the Locate position
You can fine-tune the Locate position you set during play-
back or recording. If you have a definite position to specify
as the Locate position, enter the value by either the “mea-
sure-beat-clock” or “time:minute:second:frame” form.
<Procedure>
❶
Make sure that the Locate window is open.
❷
Press [F3] (Edit).
The parentheses ( ) indication for “measure-beat-clock” or
the time will disappear, showing that you are now ready to
fine-tune the Locate position. A “
■
” symbol will appear next
to Edit.
✳
LOC0 (Rec Top) and LOC9 (Rec End) cannot be reset.
❸
Move the cursor to the desired measure-beat-clock or
hour:minute:second:frame.
❹
Use the numeric keys to input the value you want.
❺
Close the Locate window after you finish settings by
pressing [LOCATE] or [EXIT].
To return to the display for normal Locate position settings,
press [F3] (Edit) again.
Moving right to a Locate position
<Procedure>
❶
Press [LOCATE] to open the Locate window.

u
] or [
d
] to move the cursor to the

position.
When the Locate position has been moved, the Locate win-
dow closes.

Inputting a Locate number using the numeric keys
allows you to move right to the specified Locate posi-
tion without pressing [F6] (Jump).
Setting loop
During loop play or recording, a section you specify here
(loop area) will play back or be recorded repeatedly. You can
set the repeat number and the Loop points to specify the
loop area.
✳
If the song’s time signature and the Pattern’s time sig-
nature (Pattern beat) differ from each other, Loop point
will result in different positions in the song and
Pattern.
✳
If you save the song as an MRC Pro song , Loop set-
tings will be stored as part of the song data.
<Procedure>
❶
Make sure that the Play display (SEQ(Song)) or
Realtime Rec Stand-by display (SEQ) is up.
✳
Loop points will be the same regardless of the display
you used for setting them.
❷
Press [F5] (Loop) to open the Loop window.
✳
If you have selected a song previously saved to disk in
step 2, a window asks “This Song is not Internal Song.
Load anyway?” If you want to erase the song from the
internal memory and load the new song, press [F5]
(OK). If you decide not to erase the song from the
internal memory, press [F6] (Cancel).
