Track-to-Track Copy
The Off Line Punch function allows you to perform track-to-track copies. The section of the
source track to be copied is determined by the LAST REC IN and OUT points, and you must
set these points before trying to use this function. As the copy operation is performed by the
recorder, the mixer settings have no effect. The copy is recorded at the same volume level as the
original. You can monitor the destination track while the copy is in progress. The Off Line Punch
function also includes a rehearsal option, so you can perform a dry run before performing the
actual copy.
1. Press the [UTILITY] button and use the [√] and [®] SELECT buttons to select
the OffLinePunch function.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
If nothing happens, you haven’t yet set the LAST REC IN and OUT points. See Setting the In/Out
Points “On-the-Fly” on page 24 for more information.
If you have set the IN and OUT points, the display shows
PNCHX*Tr¬*Tr
3. Use the [–] and [+] DATA buttons to select the source track.
For example: PNCHX1Tr¬*Tr
4. Press the [®] SELECT button.
5. Use the [–] and [+] DATA buttons to select the destination track.
For example: PNCHX1Tr¬4Tr
Existing data between the IN and OUT points on the destination track is overwritten.
6. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display shows PNCHXREHE?
At this point you have the choice of performing the copy or just rehearsing it.
7. Use the [–] and [+] DATA buttons to select PNCHXREHE? or PNCHXEXE?.
8. Press the [ENTER] button.
If you selected PNCHXREHE?, the copy operation is rehearsed. You can monitor the destination
track while the rehearsal is in progress. The REC SELECT indicator for the destination track
lights up during the rehearsal.
If you selected
PNCHXEXE?, the copy operation is performed. Tracks are copied at normal play
speed. So copying a 1-minute section, for example, takes 1 minute.
You can abort the track copy operation at anytime by pressing the [STOP] button. Data up to
the point that you pressed the [STOP] button is copied.
