The preview function enables you to repeatedly audition
the rise (fade in) or the fall (fade out) of the sound data at
a locate point (edit point) that is stored in the AUTO PUNCH
IN/OUT, AUTO RTN START/END, or CLIPBOARD IN/OUT
key.  This is also called “point rehearsal.”
With this function, you can check the locate points in real-
time.
You can also use this function to fine-tune the position of
the locate points while previewing the sound.
This function is effective only when the FD-4 is stopped.

Pressing the desired memory key will enable you to
preview the sound at the locate point (edit point) stored
in the corresponding memory key.

Refer to the following diagram for the display indication
during the Preview operation.

The FD-4 repeats playback the “rise sound” at the locate point (edit
point).  As shown in the diagram, one-second of data prior to the
locate point is muted during playback.  The mute is off (fade in) at the
locate point and the sound is played back for one second.
The FD-4 will repeat this operation until you quit the Preview
function.

While holding down the SHIFT key, press the AUTO END
START key, the AUTO PUNCH IN key, or the CLIPBOARD OUT
