Chapter 2: Recording on the DPS16
Using locate points
After you have finished recording the first track, you may want to store the points (time values) where a tune or
tone changes, such as the end of the intro, the start of the chorus, bridge, etc., as locate points before you start
recording the next track. If you store locate points, they are useful when you wish to start recording in the middle
of the song or redo recording repeatedly, since a simple key operation will locate the desired point (this operation
is called “locating”). The DPS16 offers “Direct locate” points that can be assigned to the keys on the top panel, as
well as normal locate points that can be named and stored in a list. This section describes how to store the direct
locate points.
1. Press the [
] button to play back the song from the beginning.
2. Press the [MEMORY] key at the point you wish to store as a direct locate point.
The DPS16 displays the following three windows. The
Time
field in the Locate Memory window at the
bottom indicates the time at which you pressed the
[MEMORY]
key.
✐
TIP :
You can store a direct locate point while the DPS16 is stopped.
3. Press any one of the [INPUT SELECT] keys or [TRACK SELECT] keys.
The desired point (time value) is stored as a direct locate point in the selected key.
✐
TIP :
• You may store locate points in the
[IN]
key and
[OUT]
key, instead of the
[INPUT SELECT]
keys or
[TRACK
SELECT]
keys. However, since the
[IN]
key and
[OUT]
key are also used to specify Punch In/Out points and
edit regions, you may wish to first use the
[INPUT SELECT]
keys or
[TRACK SELECT]
keys to store the
locate points.
• You can also name the locate points and store them in the Locate Point list. Refer to “Chapter 3: Transport/
Locate Operation”.
4. Repeat steps 2–3 until all necessary direct locate points are stored.
