sequence
Notes
The REPEAT function provides a "Playback Loop" or "Block Repeat"
between the two programmed MEMO points. The 488 understands
the lower MEMO point as the start point of the loop, and the higher
point as the end.
1. Use MEMO and LOC 1 and LOC 2 (as explained above) to
establish the beginning and the end of loop.
2. Press the REPEAT key. The tape will fast wind to the lower MEMO
point.
3. As soon as that location is reached, the tape will automatically
start playing to the higher MEMO location.
4. When the tape reaches the end of the loop, it will automatically
rewind to the lower MEMO location and start over.
Press any transport keys (except Play). The function pressed will be
activated. If the tape is wound outside the repeat loop points, the
REPEAT LED that was on solid will start blinking.
To resume the REPEAT sequence - ;
• Press the appropriate LOC key to locate the tape to the lower
MEMO point.
OR
• If you are now within the loop or shortly behind the lower MEMO
point, press PLAY.
1. If REPEAT is pressed while the 488's recorder is in Record mode,
the recorder will stop.
2. You can initiate record directly from the REPEAT mode. As long as
recording is taking place, the REPEAT function is temporarily
defeated; the deck will not enter Rewind mode unless you punch
out before the higher MEMO point is reached.
