Point editing

Even when the screen shows positions in bars and beats,

location points are edited in minutes and seconds (“To edit a location
mark” on page 26), but with the
important difference that the bars
and beats equivalent is also shown.

When the

LOCATE

key is held down in “bars and beats” mode, the dis-

play looks something like this:

IN, OUT and TO
points do not

show the bars/beats value when
being edited.

Selecting a point to edit shows the bars and beats below the absolute
time value. The bars and beats cannot be set directly, but change,
together with the absolute time value, as the wheel is turned:

Metronome

To help you keep in time, the DP-01 provides a MIDI metronome which can be
used to trigger an external sound generator. Typically, you will use a percussion
instrument or instruments (such as open and closed hi-hats), but you can use
any instrument which helps you keep time.

You can set the MIDI channel, the normal “click” note and Note On velocity
and the accented note and Note On velocity.
