Korg D3200 owner manual PC drive, Checking, renaming, or deleting files, Deleting the Undo data

To erase A and B that remain from the first take, and recover disk space

Execute the TRACK “EditTrk” tab page “OptimizeTrk” (op- timize) command on track 1 for the region between the be- ginning and end of the song.

When this is executed, only the audio data of the Intro, 2nd take of A (A’), 2nd take of B (B’), and the Break will be kept. This means that the 1st take of A and 1st take of B data will no longer occupy disk space.

Intro	A	B	Break
	A'	B'
IN		“OptimizeTrack”	OUT
Intro	A'	B'	Break

3. You recorded A and B on track 1 as the first take. As the second take, you overwrite-recorded the Intro, A’, B’, and Break.

A B

1st take

1st take

2nd take Intro A' B' Break

In this case, the first take A and B remain “beneath” A’ and B’, but since the audio data of take 1 is not used at all once you finished recording take 2, there is no need to execute the optimize command.

Deleting the Undo data

Even if you use the drive space efficiently as described above ( ), the old data will be kept on the drive for use by the Undo function.

To delete this undo data, either click the Clear button in the “Undo/Redo” tab page (→p.141), or put the D3200 in stand- by mode (shut down). After restarting, all undo data will be deleted, recovering free space on the drive.

Be aware that restarting the D3200 will delete the undo data of all the songs.

Sharing event data

If you use the Copy Track operation to copy track data to an- other track (e.g., virtual track) or another song, this audio data will be shared, so that the drive capacity will not de- crease. However if you execute the Optimize Track operation on the copy-destination or copy-source track, new audio data will be created, and this will mean that a greater amount of drive capacity will be used than before the operation was ex- ecuted.

In the case of 2 above, if you copy the first take to another track before you record the second time, then executing the Optimize Track operation will not delete the “A” and “B” re- gions of the first take, and new audio data for the “Intro” and “Break” regions will be created, meaning that a greater amount of drive capacity will be used.

8. PC drive
