Storing a Locate Point (Edit Point)

You can store time information (time or bar/beat/clock) in each memory key.
The stored time information will be used to locate a point in data in the recorder section, or as an edit point to
perform the Auto Punch In/Out, Copy & Paste, Move & Paste, or Erase function.
This chapter describes how to store data in the memory keys and edit the stored data.
Data stored in the memory keys is used in the following operations:

<Note on storing the locate point>
When you set the IN/OUT points for Auto Punch In/Out, IN/OUT points for Copy & Clip/Move
& Clip, and START/END points for Auto Return/Auto Repeat, make sure that IN points precede
the OUT points and START points precede the END points.
You can store locate points for each Program. (You need to select a Program first.)
The data can be also saved or loaded even after the Song data is saved or loaded.
All locate points stored in the memory keys will be maintained after you turn off the FD-8.
In addition to the memory keys, you can store data in the LOCATE key in real-time.
The LOCATE key always stores the point most recently located by the FD-8.
That is, data in the LOCATE key is overwritten by new data each time the FD-8 locates a
point. You can also edit the data in the LOCATE key. Refer to the following pages for
more information on how to edit data.
