CHAPTER THREE

The “Edit” Options

Undo (-Z)

After you’ve made a change to the file, you can select Undo to cancel the most recent modification. The Undo command will be followed by the most recent option you’ve selected, for example, Undo Paste or Undo Echo . If Undo isn’t an option for the change you’ve made, the undo command will be dimmed.

Cut (-X)

After you’ve selected a portion of the graph, choose Cut to remove the selection from the screen and copy it to the GS clipboard. You can then paste it to another location on the same file or to a different file. The selection will remain in the clipboard until something else is pasted in to take its place or until you quit the program.

Copy (-C)

Choosing Copy when a portion of the file is selected will copy the selection to the clipboard without removing the selection from the screen.

Paste (-V)

Selecting Paste copies the current contents of the clipboard into file at the selection bar position. If a section of the file is selected when you choose paste, the clipboard contents will replace the selection. If a selection was recorded at a different rate from the file you paste it into, the pasted selection will be played at the rate of the file into which you paste it.

A Note about the Clipboard

The Sonic Blaster’s clipboard is a local clipboard; it can be used only for the Sonic Blaster program. Once you quit the program, whatever you currently have pasted to the clipboard is lost.
