    Special Functions:

    • Monitoring : Modes: RAW (Read-After-Write) and RMW (Read-Modify-Write). In RAW mode, real-time off tape monitoring is provided. In the RMW mode, the PCM-7030 allows enhanced punch in and punch out operation with crossfading at the punch in and out points.
    • Variable Speed Playback: ±12.5%.
    • Variable Speed Recording: " pull up" and " pull down" ±1% recording sample rates permits automatic  ±0.01% speed change during playback, useful  for post-production.
    • Memory Start Function: Three seconds of audio data from around the play starting point is stored in a stereo digital sound memory and this memorized sound is output instantly when the play key is pressed. This eliminates the delay, which is inherent in a rotary head system. The start point can be trimmed and the designated start point can be rehearsed any number of times. When operating the time code locate or start ID locate function in memory start mode, the PCM-7030 automatically stores that audio data around the locate point for instant playback.
