Setting a mark
During playback or while playback is stopped, press
the
MARK
key to insert a mark at the current posi-
tion.
TIP
You don’t need to have the home screen displayed in
order to use marks.
The home screen shows
Mark x
at the top left of
the screen, where
x
is the next available mark num-
ber. This is the default name of the mark, which you
can change later (see below) to something more use-
ful, like “Verse 2” or “Chorus”. If a mark has been
deleted from the sequence, the deleted number is
then reused.
When mark points have been set (including the IN
and OUT points), the name of the mark immediately
before the current playback position is shown during
playback or winding.

key.
The mark is then deleted, and the previous
mark (if any) is then shown. To delete this
previous mark, release all keys, press and
hold the
STOP
key again, and press the
MARK
key again. Repeat as necessary.

Repeat playback
You can repeat and loop a part of the song, in order to

set.
When you press the

the IN and OUT points are set, and are not too close
together, otherwise a message is displayed), playback
starts at the first point, continues to the second point
and then returns to the first point and replays again.
