Locate functions
The following describes the locate functions, which allows you to locate immediately to the
desired point in a song.
ABS locate Zero return
Regardless of the current recorder position, you
can locate to the beginning of the song (LOCATE
ABS ZERO) or the recording end of the song (LO-
CATE REC END). These locate functions locate
absolute positions regardless of time base selec-
tion or counter reset of the time counter.
• LOCATE ABS ZERO function
* While the recorder is stopped, press the [REWIND]
key while holding down the [STOP] key.
The MR-8 immediately locates to the beginning of
the song (ABS ZERO).
• LOCATE REC END function
* While the recorder is stopped, press the [F FWD]
key while holding down the [STOP] key.
The MR-8 immediately locates to the recording end
of the song (REC END).
When the time base is set to "time counter", you
can reset the time counter to "0m00.000s" at any
point. By resetting the time counter at the de-
sired point, you can easily locate there using the
zero return function.
For example, if you make recording repeatedly
to different tracks from the same point, by reset-
ting the time counter at the point you start re-
cording, you can easily locate the starting point
anytime.
• Resetting the counter
<Notes>
• You can reset the time counter only while the
time base is set to "time counter". You cannot
reset the counter when the time base is set to
ABS or Bar/Beat.
• When turning the power off then on, the time
counter shows "0m00.000s" at the beginning of
the song. Therefore, if you do not reset the time
counter, the time counter matches the ABS time.
• When resetting the time counter at the desired
point, the time values at the beginning and
recording end of the song are changed.
For example, if you reset the time counter at the
recording end of the song whose length is 3
minutes and 3 seconds, the time counter at the
beginning of the song shows "
- 3m03.000s ".
