Chapter 7

Various types of playback

This chapter explains how to use the locator and marker functions, and vari-
ous other playback methods provided by the AW1600.

“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 automati-
cally 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.

● 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 cur-
rent location will be displayed with the Relative Zero 
point as 0.
