Repeat Play
Operating procedure
To interrupt REPEAT
sequence
Note 1
Note 2
The REPEAT function provides a "Playback Loop" or "Block Repeat"
between the two programmed MEMO points. The 424 MKIII
understands the lower MEMO point as the start point of the loop, and
the higher point as the end.
1. Use MEMO IN and LOC 1 and LOC 2 (as explained above) to
establish the beginning and the end of loop.
2. Press the REPEAT key. The tape will fast wind to the lower MEMO
point.
3. As soon as that location is reached, the tape will automatically
start playing to the higher MEMO location.
4. When the tape reaches the end of the loop, it will automatically
rewind to the lower MEMO location and start over.
Press any transport keys (except Play). The function pressed will be
activated. If the tape is wound outside the repeat loop points, the
REPEAT LED that was on solid will start blinking.
To resume the REPEAT sequence –;
- Press the LOC 1 or LOC 2 key.
OR
- If you are now within the loop or shortly behind the lower MEMO
point, press PLAY.
Repeat Play does not work while the 424 MKIII is in Record mode
(REC LED is blinking or lights on solid).
A space of 0003 or more (as controlled on the tape counter) is
required between two memo points. If you create a smaller loop and
press REPEAT, the REPEAT indicator does not light up in the display
and both the MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 indicators flash, showing that the
loop cannot be played.
