Punching
Punching
As mentioned in “Punch recording” on page 22, the DP-01 provides two man-
ual ways of changing between playback and recording modes: using the
PLAY
and RECORD keys, and using the foot switch. There is also an automated
punch mode, described here.
Rehearsal
The RHSL key on
its own (without
AUTO PUNCH lit) allows you to
simulate recording without com-
mitting a take to disk.
The auto-punch mode also allows you to rehearse your playing before actually
making a recording.
1 First, set the IN and OUT points (“IN and OUT marks” on page 26)
so that they correspond to the points where you want recording to
start, and where you want it to finish.
If you’re replacing
a mistake, make
sure that the sound you are re-
cording matches the sound on ei-
ther side (same effect settings,
etc.).
2 Assign an input or inputs to a track or tracks (“Assigning inputs” on
page 20), and arm those track(s) for recording (press the track’s
REC
key so that it flashes).
3 Press the AUTO PUNCH key so that it lights.
4 Press the RHSL (rehearsal) key so that it lights.
5 Press the PLAY key.
Playback starts from before the IN point (the PLAY indicator is lit).
If the IN and OUT
points are not
where they should be for your
punch recording operation, you
can turn off
AUTO PUNCH and
edit their position (“IN and OUT
marks” on page 26).
At the IN point, the playback of the armed track(s) stops. The
RECORD indicator starts to flash.
At the OUT point, the signal you hear returns to what you recorded
earlier. The
RECORD indicator stops flashing.
When playback reaches the post-roll point, it stops. When you do your
next rehearsal or punch, playback will start from the pre-roll point.
You can rehearse
by looping bet-
ween the pre-roll and post-roll
points using the
REPEAT key.
6 Repeat the rehearsal as many times as you need until you are happy
with your performance.
Pre-roll Post-roll
IN point OUT point
What you hear
Playback from previously
recorded track starts at
pre-roll position, up to IN
point (PLAY indicator lights). Recorded signals are cut
(RECORD indicator
flashes in rehearsal,
lights when recording) Return to track playback
(RECORD indicator goes
out) and playback stops
at post-roll point
You can always hear the input signal
