Seamless Punch Out Monitoring
At the punch-out point, the monitor circuits now switch from input to playback seamlessly. (Previously, monitoring was muted for an instant as the punch-out occurred.)
The number of tracks with which seamless punch out monitoring can be used simultaneously is limited by the following factors: recording media (MO or hard disk), sampling rate (48 kHz or 44.1 kHz), and recording resolution (16-, 20-, or 24-bit), as
shown in the following table.

Max. No. of Tracks for
Seamless Punch Out
The maximum number of tracks for seamless punch out consists of the number of
tracks previously recorded (i.e., the number of tracks playing back) and the number of
tracks selected for punch in/out recording. For example, the maximum number of
tracks for seamless punch out using an MO disk at 48 kHz/24-bit is eight, so if four
tracks have already been recorded, up to four tracks can be selected for seamless punch
out.
If the maximum number of tracks for seamless punch out is exceeded (i.e., a greater
number tracks are selected for recording), punch out monitoring will not be seamless.
Audio recorded to disk is always seamless.

Crossfade Modes
Two new Crossfade modes, with variable fade times, are now available for use with
punch in/out recording and part editing. Previously, a variable fade in/out time could
be set to smooth the transition between new and existing material at the punch in/out
points, and the part editing edit points. This option has been kept because it has the
advantage that it affects only playback and the fade time can be changed at anytime,
since the fades are not recorded to disk. With the new Crossfade modes, however, the
fades are recorded to disk, so once recorded, they cannot be changed.
The following procedure explains how to select a Fade mode and fade time.
Press the [UTILITY] button.
1
The UTILITY indicator lights up.
2
Use the JOG/DATA dial to select “FADE MODE,” and then press the [ENTER]
button.
The current mode setting appears on the display.
Use the JOG/DATA dial to select a Fade mode:
3
FADE IN/OUT
CROSS FADE1
—Same as previous version.
—Signal levels are at –3 dB at the crossover point (suitable
for music).
CROSS FADE2
—Signal levels are at –6 dB at crossover point (suitable for
sounds consisting essentially of a single, simple tone (e.g., flute, recorder).
4
Press the [ENTER] button to activate your selection, or the [CANCEL] button
to cancel the Fade Mode function.
5
To set the fade time, with the UTILITY indicator still lit, use the JOG/DATA dial
to select “FADE I/O,” and then press the [ENTER] button.
The currently set fade time appears on the display.
Use the JOG/DATA dial to select a fade time: 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 ms.
6
The default setting is 2 ms.
7
Press the [ENTER] button to activate your selection, or the [CANCEL] button
to cancel the Fade I/O function.
8
Press the [UTILITY] button again to leave utility.
The UTILITY indicator goes out.
Note that if a project that was recorded in the Fade I/O mode is played back in one of
the new Crossfade modes, it will play without the fade in/outs at the punch in/out
points, or part edit points. Therefore, such projects are best played back with the Fade
I/O mode selected.
