Akai MPC 60 User Manual

To perform the AUTO PUNCH:
Once you have entered the punch-in and punch-out locations, and you
have turned AUTO PUNCH mode on, locate to a position within the
sequence which is a few bars before the punch-in point. Then enter
RECORD mode as usual by pressing PLAY and RECORD simultaneously.
However, since the AUTO PUNCH function is on, RECORD mode
cannot yet be entered. Instead, the RECORD light blinks until the
PUNCH-IN point is reached. When it is reached, RECORD mode is
automatically entered and the RECORD light stops blinking and stays on
continuously. When the PUNCH-OUT point is reached, RECORD mode
is automatically exited and the RECORD light goes off, but play continues.
It is also possible to use AUTO PUNCH to automatically enter and exit
OVERDUB mode. To do this, follow the example given above, but
instead of pressing RECORD, press OVERDUB. The mode which is
entered is determined by which key is pressed - RECORD or OVERDUB.
