Playback functions
This chapter describes basic and advanced playback functions of the MR-8.
Basic playback
In the following description, it is assumed that a
CompactFlash
TM
card with recorded data is set in
the slot.
1) Load a desired song to be played back.
See page 23 for details about how to select a song.
2) Press the [PLAY] key to start playback.
The meters on the screen shows playback levels of
tracks.
3) Use track faders to control track playback levels,
as well as use the [MASTER] fader to control the
total level.
If you monitor the sound via headphones, you can
use the [PHONES VOL] control to adjust the
monitor level.
4) Set the [PAN] control for each track (1~4) to the
desired position.
3 x playback (cueing)
By pressing the [F FWD] or [REWIND] key during
playback, you can monitor playback at 3 x speed.
It may be useful for searching a specific position.
* Press the [F FWD] key during playback.
The recorder plays back in normal direction at 3 x
speed.
* Press the [REWIND] key during playback.
The recorder plays back in reverse direction at 3 x
speed.
Playback between LOCATE A and B points
When the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points are
set, you can playback between these points once.
This function is always available regardless of
the play mode setting (see "Play mode" on page
50).
This function allows you to check the editing part
(between LOCATE A and B points) for copy/paste,
erase, etc. See "Part editing" on page 68.
<Note>
Note that you have to set the LOCATE A and B points
to use this function.
See page 53 for details about how to set the LO-
CATE A and B points.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the [PLAY] key
while holding down the [STOP] key.
The MR-8 plays back audio data between the
LOCATE A and LOCATE B points once, then stops.
During playback, you can monitor playback audio
of the desired track(s) by raising the appropriate
track fader(s), as well as the [MASTER] fader and
[PHONES VOL] control.
<Note>
If you carry out the operation above when the
LOCATE A point is set ahead of the LOCATE B
point (i.e. LOCATE A > LOCATE B), the MR-8 plays
back audio data between the LOCATE A and REC
END points once, then stops.
