Connecting 2 Songs (Song Combine)

This function lets you combine two songs into one. You can use this function to connect songs for continuous playback, or combine a series of separate recordings into a single song (etc.).

Note

It is not possible to perform recording operations, such as punch-in/out recording on songs created from combinations of other songs using the song combine edit function.

In order to perform punch-in/out recording operations after a song combine, you must copy the entire song (Song Copy), then record or edit the copied version of the song.

“:” blinks next to the song number of songs created using the song combine edit function.

If “:” is blinking next to one of the two song numbers to be combined, that song cannot be combined due to the limitations of the MD recording system. In such a case, copy the song (Song Copy) with the blinking “:” before performing the song combine edit function.

See “Copying a Song (Song Copy)” on page 43 for details on how to copy a song.
