EDIT

Pressing this key (while in the Normal state) allows the SEL keys to select which

 

track(s) will be later edited (using the SHIFT+SEL edit functions described above).

 

The suggested sequence of keystrokes to follow for editing is:

 

Press the EDIT key to enter the Edit Track Mode, then the SEL key for the track(s)

 

to be edited.

 

Set the In and Out points to define the range of material to be affected on the

 

selected track(s).

 

Press SHIFT + SEL for the desired edit function (Cut, Clear, Copy).

 

Set the In point to the time code location where the material on the clipboard is to

 

be placed.

 

While the EDIT key is still enabled (amber LED is on), press the SEL key for the

 

track(s) where the material on the clipboard is to be placed.

 

Press SHIFT + SEL for the desired edit function (Paste, Insert)

 

This completes the Edit operation. Note that Open operates differently in that it

 

does not place material from the Clipboard into a track, but instead references the

 

length of time between the In and Out registers and moves the downstream

 

material by that amount.

 

If material from a single track is placed on the clipboard, but multiple destination

 

tracks are selected, only the first selected track (counting upwards from 1 to 8) will

 

be used as the target for the Paste or Insert.

 

If multiple tracks are placed on the clipboard, then multiple destination tracks can

 

be selected. Selecting the same number of target tracks as used for the clipboard

 

operation insures the material will be placed on only those tracks. If a different

 

number of target tracks are selected, the Paste or Insert will place the clipboard

 

material consecutively on the selected tracks, starting with the first selected track,

 

up to the limit of the number of tracks selected. For example:

 

If material is Copied from Track 1, then tracks 3, 4, 6, and 8 are Selected for the

 

target, the Paste operation will only put material on track 3.

 

If material is Copied from tracks 2, 4, and 6, then tracks 1 through 8 are all

 

selected, the Paste operation will place material on tracks 1, 2, and 3. If only three

 

tracks are selected for the Paste (for example, tracks 3, 5, and 7) then the material

 

will go on those tracks in order.
