Data is saved in its edited form when you return to the Play screen from the Track Edit screen.

*During automatic updating, “Keep power on!” appears in the upper line of the display, while the lower line shows what is being processed.

To copy, move, or erase repeated portions, you first need to set the portion to be repeated, using the procedure described on p. 51.

Copying Data (Track Copy)

Track Copy allows you to copy a specific part of data and then place it in a different location.

You can perform editing operations such as copying the data on a track all at once, or copying the data from a specified part as many times as you wish.

If, for example, you want to use a phrase from a certain track, or have the same phrase repeated again and again, the copy function will help save you time.

*If data exists at the position being copied to, that data will be overwritten.

*The portion being copied must be longer than 1.0 seconds long. If the copied portion is 1.0 seconds or less, no sound will be heard even if the copy is carried out.

The three types of Track Copy are given below.
