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 AW1600. 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 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 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. HINT • 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 = 00:00:00:00.00 Counter display format ABS 00:00:00:00.00 00:00:05:00.00 00:00:10:00.00 7 SEC 00:00:00:00.00 00:00:05:00.00 00:00:10:00.00 T.C 00:00:00:00.00 00:00:05:00.00 00:00:10:00.00 Various types of playback S Start point = 00:00:05:00.00 Counter display format ABS 00:00:00:00.00 SEC -00:00:05:00.00 T.C 23:59:55:00.00 00:00:05:00.00 00:00:00:00.00 00:00:00:00.00 00:00:10:00.00 00:00:05:00.00 00:00:05:00.00 S HINT • 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 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. AW1600 Owner's Manual 65
