Chapter 7
Various types of playback
This chapter explains how to use the locator and marker functions,
and various other playback methods provided by the AW16G.
Using the locator
“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 AW16G, 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. How-
ever, 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 abso-
lute 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 automatically 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.

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. 98).

Tip!
When the AW16G transmits MTC to an external device,
the Start point will be the basis (the zero point) of the
time code that is generated. The Start point will also be
the basis (measure 1 beat 1) for the measures displayed in
the counter.
● 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
current location will be displayed with the Relative
Zero point as 0.
