When both LOCATE LIST (µ/ ) keys are held down
together in “bars and beats” mode, the display looks some-
thing like this:
Use the cursor (,§) keys to select the mark to trim,
and press the ¥ cursor key to show the trim screen.
Selecting a point to edit shows the bars and beats below
the absolute time value. The bars and beats cannot be set
directly, but change, together with the absolute time value,
as the DATA dial is turned:
NOTE
IN, OUT and TO points do not show the bars/beats
value when being edited.
Metronome
To help you keep in time, the unit provides an internal
metronome function and a MIDI metronome function. The
internal metronome function allows you to listen to the
metronome on the unit, while the MIDI metronome func-
tion generates a metronome output on the MIDI interface.
1 Press MENU, use the DATA dial or cursor (,§
) keys to select the MIDI menu, and press the ¥
cursor or YES/ENTER key.
2 Select the METRONOME item, and press the ¥ cursor
or YES/ENTER key.
When “INTERNAL” is selected at “Output”

The unit’s internal metronome (not an external sound source)
can be output to headphones and LINE OUTPUT L/R.

REC&PLAY (at recording and playback).
T I P
The internal metronome is not output in the following
instances:
• While the BOUNCE key is lit
• While the MASTER key is flashing
or is lit
LEVEL Set the output level of the metronome within the
range 0 to 127. (The output level cannot be adjusted on the
MASTER fader.)
ª
When “MIDI” is selected at “Output” [MIDI
metronome]
This setting generates a metronome output via the MIDI
interface. Generally, percussion type sounds are used as
the metronome. Any sound, of course, can be produced.

regular click, and note/note on velocity of an accent.
Scroll the list to set the following parameters:
