Storing a Locate Point (Edit Point)

You can store time information (time or bar/beat/clock) in each memory key.
The stored time information will be used to locate a point in data in the recorder section, or as an edit point to
perform the Auto Punch In/Out, Copy & Paste, Move & Paste, or Erase function.
This chapter describes how to store data in the memory keys and edit the stored data.
Data stored in the memory keys is used in the following operations:

<Note on storing the locate point>

& Clip, and START/END points for Auto Return/Auto Repeat, make sure that IN points precede
the OUT points and START points precede the END points.
• You can store locate points for each Program. (You need to select a Program first.)
• The data can be also saved or loaded even after the Song data is saved or loaded.
• All locate points stored in the memory keys will be maintained after you turn off the FD-8.
In addition to the memory keys, you can store data in the LOCATE key in real-time.
The LOCATE key always stores the point most recently located by the FD-8.
That is, data in the LOCATE key is overwritten by new data each time the FD-8 locates a
point. You can also edit the data in the LOCATE key. Refer to the following pages for
more information on how to edit data.
