<About "part">
A "part" is defined as audio data between
the "LOCATE A" and "LOCATE B" points.
Therefore, you have to set the "LOCATE
A" and "LOCATE B" points when editing a
"part".
The punch-in and punch-out points set
for the auto punch in/out function also
can be used as the "LOCATE A" and "LO-
CATE B" points.
4) Press the [PLAY] key to start playback of the song.
“ ” (AUTO PUNCH) on the screen changes
to “ ” (REHEARSAL), showing that the
recorder starts the auto punch in/out rehearsal.
The recorder automatically switches the monitor
of the armed track from "repro" to "input" at the
punch-in point, and switches back to "repro" from
"input" at the punch-out point.
Actual recording is not made, though only the
monitor is switched. You can practice as many times
as you like.

<Note>
By using the loop function when rehearsing auto
punch in/out, you can concentrate on playing
without bothering to operate the MR-8. See page
51 for details about the loop function.
Actual auto punch in/out
After rehearsing, let's execute actual auto punch
in/out.
1) Locate the recorder to the point before the punch-
in point.
2) Make sure that "AUTO PUNCH" is shown on the
screen (i.e. the auto punch mode is active).
If it is not shown, Press the [AUTO PUNCH] key.
3) Press the [RECORD] key while holding down the
[PLAY] key.
“ ” (AUTO PUNCH) on the screen changes
to “ ” (TAKE), showing that the recorder
starts execution of the actual auto punch in/out.
The recorder starts playback and automatically
switches to start recording at the punch-in point,
then automatically releases recording at the punch-
out point.
