Various types of playback
This chapter explains how to use the locator and marker functions, and vari-
ous other playback methods provided by the AW1600.
“Locate points” are locations you specify within a song in order to execute functions such as auto
punch-in/out and A-B repeat. You can use this function to “locate” (move the current location of
the song) to one of these points just by pressing a single key. On the AW1600, you can use the
following locate points.
● In/out points
These locate points are used to specify the region for auto
punch-in/out (→ p. 59). Normally, the beginning and end
of the recording you last performed will be automatically
set as the In point and Out point. However, you may
change these points as desired.
● A/B points
These locate points are used to specify the region for the
A-B Repeat function (→ p. 70). The A point and B point
can be set to any point in a song, either by pressing a key
or by operations in the screen.
● Start/end points
These locate points normally correspond to the beginning
and end of the song. When you create a new song, the
Start point will initially be set to absolute time
00:00:00.000. When you record, the end of the song will
automatically be set as the End point. If you record past
the previously-set End point, the End point will automati-
cally move back.
If you select SEC or T.C. as the counter display format,
the Start point will be the basis (the zero point) of the time
and time code that are displayed. This means that if you
change the Start point, the display will change as follows,
depending on the counter display format.
● Relative zero point
This locate point stores the relative zero position. When
you press the RTZ [ ] key in the transport section, you
will move to this location. If the song is in the initial state,
the relative zero point will be the same as absolute time
00:00:00.000, but you can change this if desired by using
key operations or operations in the screen.
If you select REL as the counter display format, the cur-
rent location will be displayed with the Relative Zero
point as 0.
Using the locator
• When you create an audio CD, the Start and End points can be
used to specify the region of the stereo track that will be written to
the audio CD (
→
p. 102).

Start point
• When the AW1600 transmits MTC to an external device, the Start
point will be the basis (the zero point) of the time code that is gen-
erated. The Start point will also be the basis (measure 1 beat 1) for
the measures displayed in the counter.
