  • Pressing this button while recording or playing back adds a text memo at the instance when the button was pressed. At this time, [TEXT MEMO] (when successful) or [TEXT MEMO INVALID] (when unsuccessful) is displayed.

  • Pressing this button while the thumbnail screen is displayed inserts a text memo in the clip thumbnail (normally at the beginning) position.
