Auto Punch In/Out
The Auto Punch In/Out function automates the punch in/out procedure, allowing you to
concentrate on your playing or singing. Auto Punch In/Out uses the LAST REC IN and OUT
points as the punch in and punch out points. So you must set these points first. Once set,
you can rehearse the punch in/out repeatedly with accuracy.
There are two Auto Punch modes: Single Take Auto Punch and Multi Take Auto Punch. The
latter means that you can record several versions of a part and select the best one afterwards.
