Chapter 4: Punch In/Out
Punch in/out operation using a foot switch
This section explains how to perform the punch in/out operation using a foot switch. This is useful when you are
playing instruments with both hands and you need to use your foot to punch in and out.
Before using a foot switch for punch in/out recording, make sure that the
Foot switch
field in the OTHER
window in the Setup mode is set to “
PUNCH IN
/
OUT
”. (See page 109.)
1. Connect a foot switch to the [
FOOT SW.
] jack on the rear panel.
➸
NOTES :
• There are two types of foot switches: normal open (the contact is open when it is not pressed), and
normal closed (the contact is closed when it is not pressed). If a foot switch has been connected to the
DPS16, when you turn on the power to the DPS16, it automatically detects the type of foot switch
connected. You can use either type of foot switch. If a foot switch is not connected to the DPS16, when
you turn on the power to the DPS16, it automatically selects normal open mode.
• Do not use a latch-type foot switch (open/close switching type) since it will not be detected correctly.
2. Locate a position a little before the punch in point.
3. Use the [RECORD SELECT] key to select a recording track.
The selected track’s LED flashes, indicating that the track enters record ready mode.
4. Press the [
] button.
The [
] button’s LED lights up and the playback starts. You can monitor the recorder’s playback (previously
recorded sound) through the record-ready track.
5. When the punch in point is reached, press the foot switch.
The
[REC]
button’s LED lights up and the selected track starts recording.
➸
NOTE :
If the
REHEARS
parameter for the Auto Punch function of Quick Function Select has been
turned on, the DPS16 enters “Rehearsal mode” in which you can practice the punch in operation before
you record a real punch in take. Refer to page 52 for more information.
6. When the punch out point is reached, press the foot switch again.
The recording is cancelled and the DPS16 resumes playback.
7. Press the [
] button to stop playback.

TIP :
When you perform punch in/out recording manually or using the foot switch, the punch in and out
points are automatically stored as the In point and Out point respectively. For example, if you are not
satisfied with your performance during punch in/out recording using the foot switch, you can use the auto
punch in/out function to re-record, since the punch in/out points are already stored.
