Manual Punch In/Out
This section explains how to perform Manual Punch In/Out using a foot switch (optional Model 8051).
You do not need to specify the Punch In/Out points. Instead, you press the foot switch at the Punch In/Out point.
Manual Punch In/Out also offers rehearsal and actual takes. You can repeat rehearsal until you are ready.
As an example, replace a part of the recorded guitar solo on track 3.
• Initialize the VR800.
• Select a desired Program for Punch In/Out.
Preparation
Check to see that the guitar is connected to the input jack of the mixer, as required for [AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT]
mentioned earlier.
Connect an optional foot switch (Model 8051) to the PUNCH IN/OUT jack on the side panel.
Rehearsing Manual Punch In/Out recording
In Rehearsal mode, the READY track enters input monitoring mode between the Punch In and Out points (the
points at which you press the foot switch), and the sound is not recorded. You can practice the Punch In/Out
operation repeatedly before you proceed to actual recording.
1. Press the foot switch while holding down the STOP
button.
[Rehearsal On] will appear on the display dor about 1
second, then rehearsal mode will appear and the [RHSL]
flashes in the A. PUNCH display.
2. Press the RECORD TRACK select key [3] to set
track 3 to READY.
3. Press the PLAY button to play back from a point
slightly before the Punch In point.
4. Play the guitar accompanying the playback of tracks
1 to 8.
The recording level and monitor volume is adjusted on
the mixer in the same manner as done for [AUTO PUNCH
IN/OUT] descrived earlier.
5. Press the foot switch once at the desired Punch In
point, then press the foot switch again at the desired
Punch Out point.
The rehearsal mode will operate as shown in the figure.
Between the Punch In and Out points the current
performance of the guitar will be played as the guitar
monitor sound. The previous recording is heard in any
other case. The RECORD button lamp lights up when
Punching In and turn off when Punching Out. (the
[RHSL] remains flashing)
