nome knob and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust
the metronome volume level.

To stop recording, press the STOP [] key.
I (In point) and O (Out point) symbols will appear in
the track view of the VIEW page, indicating the
location of the most recent recording operation.
The [UNDO/REDO] key of the data entry/control

tion.

beginning, press the RTZ [ ] key to return
the counter display to zero, and press the

The [UNDO/REDO] key will go dark, and you will
return to the state prior to recording. Repeat steps

move the cursor to the SAFE button, and

tracks will be cancelled. It will no longer be possi-
ble to press the [REC] key, and this will prevent
recording from occurring accidentally.
