MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Advanced playback and locate functions)
Locating to the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point
You can set the desired point of a song as the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point.
The LOCATE A and B points can be used not only for locating, but also for auto punch in/out,
play modes and part editing, etc.
Setting the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point
You can set the LOCATE A or LOCATE B point while the recorder is running or stops at the
desired point, regardless of time base setting.
<Note>: The LOCATE A point must be earlier than the LOCATE B point. If not, you cannot carry
out the auto punch in/out or loop function correctly.
<Tip>: While the time base is set to the bar/beat mode, if you set the "Beat resolution" menu
item in the menu mode to "On", you can store the LOCATE A or B point in beat resolution. In
other words, the clock digit of the Bar/Beat/Clk value is automatically rounded down or up, so
that the clock digit is always "000".
See page 136 for details about how to make the beat resolution active or inactive.
<Note>: You cannot set the LOCATE A or B point for a protected song. If you are going to do so,
the warning message ("This song is protected!") is shown. To set the LOCATE A or B point for a
protected song, release the protection first (see page 93).
• To set the LOCATE B point:
When the recorder is playing back (or stopped),
press the [LOCATE B/OUT] key at the desired
point while holding down the [STORE] key.
The display briefly shows "Store LOCATE B", and
the point when pressing the [LOCATE B/OUT]
key is stored as the LOCATE B point.
• To set the LOCATE A point:
When the recorder is playing back (or stopped),
press the [LOCATE A/IN] key at the desired point
while holding down the [STORE] key.
The display briefly shows "Store LOCATE A",
and the point when pressing the [LOCATE A/IN]
key is stored as the LOCATE A point.
