 Tips & Techniques: Delivering The Punch Line
A common way to accomplish that is to use a sequencer feature called punch recording, or punch-in, which allows you to rerecord a user-defined section of the track.
For example, if the punch-in occurs in measures 9 and 10 of a track, start the sequence playback at measure 6, start playing the keyboard at measure 8, and play through to the end of measure 11.
The preroll is the time between the beginning of playback and the punch-in point, when recording begins; postroll is the time between the punch-out point (when recording stops) and the end of playback.

The punch ring is mounted on a bushing so that it may free wheel, but unlike other long run systems, the punch shaft is not locked down and continues to turn.
