on the track will be erased and
replaced with new data.
OVDB (Overdub) New data will be added
to previously existing data.
AUTP (Auto punch) You can specify a start
measure and an end measure before
beginning to record, so that only the
specified area will be recorded onto
and other recording parts will not be
“spoilt”. When you select this param-
eter, the “Start measure” and “End

beginning of the area you wish to
record. Recording will begin.

the end of the area you wish to
record. Recording will stop and play-
back will continue.

LYRICS button, you can switch on
and off the Manual Punch with a spe-
cially programmed pedal or with the
EC5 controller. see “Page 14:
Assignable pedal/switch” or “Page
15: EC5 external controller” in the
