Chapter 4 Operation Tips
Basic Operation Procedure
During the duration specified by the punch in/out
function, the minimum level is stored as automation
data for the corresponding fader.
At the punch in point, the current fader level is stored.
At the punch out point, the fader level of the previous
data is resumed.
When the events have been completed and everything
is ready to save as data, select KEEP by touching the
TITLE button on the window, as required.
Performing punch in/punch out using the

and in the AUTOMATION window.
For details of buttons, see “Automation Panel” on page 26,
