Chapter 3: Recording Sequences
AUTO PUNCH IN / OUT
Auto Punch allows you to Overdub or Record automatically between 2 preset points. This can be
very useful at times such as when you want to execute a very tight punch-in and there isn’t enough
time to get from the MPC2000XL to the MIDI keyboard to play the new notes after the punch-in.
The Auto Punch function allows you to punch in automatically, allowing you to concentrate on your
performance.
Hold SHIFT and press MISC. (2 on the numeric pad).
