keyboard pads (A ~ F) while holding the [SHIFT] button.

 

 

 Real-time Record 

 

(Owner’s Manual pages 80, 162, & 187)

To temporarily disengage the record mode simply press the [REC] button after starting REPLACE, OVERDUB, or PUNCH real-

time recording as described in the owner’s manual – the [REC] LED will flash and playback will continue uninterrupted but no data

will be recorded. To return to the record mode press the [REC] button again – the [REC] LED will light continuously. This can be

repeated to disengage/resume recording as many times as necessary to until the [STOP] button is pressed. The [REC] LED indicates
