Yamaha MT3X - Manual (Page 25)

Automatic Punch-in/out
This sophisticated MT3X function makes it possible to
pre-define the punch-in and punch-out points, so you
don’t have to touch the controls during the actual
punch-in/out operation.
1. Set the REC SELECT switch for the track to be
punched-in to the appropriate record position.
2. Use the AUTO PUNCH MEMO button to specify the
start and end (punch-in and punch-out) points for
the MTSX’s AUTO PUNCH I/O function. While run­
ning the tape in the playback mode, press the
AUTO PUNCH MEMO button once to specify the
punch-in point (the AUTO PUNCH I/O “MEMO” indi­
cator will flash), and then again to specify the
punch-out point (the AUTO PUNCH I/O “MEMO"
indicator will light continuously).
3. Rewind the tape to a point before the punch-in point
(refer to the electronic tape counter).
4. Press the AUTO PUNCH I/O button to activate the
automatic punch-in/out function. The AUTO PUNCH
I/O “I/O” indicator in the central display panel will
light, indicating that the AUTO PUNCH I/O function
is ready.
5. Press the REC and PLAY buttons to start the trans­
port running in the AUTO PUNCH I/O mode. Prior
to the pre-defined punch-in point, the red REC indi­
cator will flash. As soon as the punch-in point is
reached, the record mode will be activated and the
REC indicator will light continuously. When the
punch-out point is reached, the record mode will be
automatically disengaged.
r NOTE: ------------------------------------------- -----------
The AUTO PUNCH I/O mode can not be activated
when the tape is wound to a point beyond the pro­
grammed punch-in point.
- NOTE: -----------------------------------------------------
The AUTO PUNCH I/O mode can be turned off by
pressing the AUTO PUNCH I/O button a second
time, and the MEMO display can be cleared by first
pressing the MEMO button, causing the “MEMO” in­
dicator to flash, and pressing the “MEMO” button
again. The “MEMO” indicator will go out.
