Using these memories, you can perform auto locate, auto return and
auto play between two points, and auto punch in/out (crossfade time:
10ms). (Refer to pages "77" and "87" for more details.)
* Auto locate to ABS 0 or ABS END is also possible. In addition, the LOCATE
key has its own memory. This is very useful for a repeated locate
operation. (Refer to page "87" for more details.)
* There are two modes for Auto Punch In/Out function: "Take" mode,
which is used for actual recording, and 'Rehearsal," which is used to
switch the part located between the In and Out points to the Input
monitor. (Refer to page "77" for more details.)

locate point. Pre-roll time can be set in the range of 0 - 10 seconds.

output MTC (MIDI timecode). The MTC frame rate is compatible with
all formats - 24, 25, 30DF, and 30ND. (Refer to page "126” for setting
the frame rate, and to page "127" for setting the offset time.)
* The DMT-8 vl responds to MMC (MIDI Machine Control) and Fostex
System Exclusive Message sent from external sequencing software. (Refer
