What is Punch In/Out recording?
Punch In/Out recording enables you to record over previ-
ously-recorded parts. See the diagram below. For example,
using the Punch In/Out function allows you to change an
unsatisfactory guitar solo.
The FD-4 offers two types of Punch In/Out functions. One
is called Auto Punch In/Out, in which you automatically re-
record a specified part. The other is called Manual Punch
In/Out, in which you record data manually (using your
foot to operate an optional foot switch, model 8051).
Both functions feature “Rehearsal mode” to enable you to
practice repeatedly until you are ready.
Punch In/Out Recording
Auto Punch In/Out
To perform Auto Punch In/Out recording, you need to
specify the Auto Punch In point (recording start point) and
the Auto Punch Out point (recording end point).
Storing the edit points
1. Refer to “Storing the edit points” on page 63 to set the Auto
Punch In/Out points.
Store the Auto Punch In point to the AUTO PUNCH IN
key, and the Auto Punch Out point to the AUTO PUNCH
OUT key.
• Refer to page 63 for more information on storing the edit points.
• Select a Program for Punch In/Out recording.
• Initialize the FD-4.
<Note>
You can use the Punch In/Out recording only for Real tracks 1–4.
If you wish to use Punch In/Out recording for data on an Additional
track, first move the data to the Real tracks.

<Note>
Make sure that you specify an Auto Punch In point that precedes the
Auto Punch Out point. If the Auto Punch Out point precedes the Auto
Punch In point, [Void Out !] appears and you will be unable to per-
form Auto Punch In/Out recording.

Previewing and trimming the edit points
You can check the stored edit points by pressing the corre-
sponding memory keys to display them on the LCD. You
can also change the points if necessary.
In this example, use the Preview function to fine-tune the
point while previewing.
1. While the FD-4 is stopped, hold down the SHIFT key and
press the memory key.
Pressing the AUTO PUNCH IN key enables you to listen to
the sound at the AUTO PUNCH IN point (“previewing the
sound rise [fade-out]”). Pressing the AUTO PUNCH OUT
key enables you to listen to the sound at the AUTO PUNCH
OUT point (“previewing the sound fall [fade-in]”).
2. Trim the edit point while auditioning the sound.
• Refer to page 69 for more information on the Preview function.
