Model D2424 Reference Manual (Multiple Undo Function)

Multiple Undo Function

To undo recordings or edits, you can use the Multiple Undo (Time Jump) function (explained in this section) as well as the Single Undo/Redo function (explained in the Quick Operation Guide and the “Punch in/out” and “Track editing” sections of this manual).

You can use the Multiple Undo (Time Jump) function only for a current drive disk that was formatted with the Multiple Undo turned on. (See page 31 for more information on the format operation.) The Single Undo/Redo function enables you to undo and redo the current take of recording or edit (Punch in/out, Copy & Paste, Move & Paste, Erase). However, if you record a new take, you will no longer be able to apply the Undo/Redo function to the previous take.

On the other hand, the Multiple Undo (Time Jump) function can be applied to all takes made after the current drive disk is formatted. To undo a take, select the date and time (at which you finish making the corresponding take) of the edit based on the internal clock.

When you finish recording or editing a take on a current drive disk that was formatted with the Multiple Undo function turned on, that take will get the time stamp of the internal clock (e.g.: [10:50.37 11.Dec?]). Therefore, you can always recall the desired take. This is quite different from the Single Undo/Redo function.

<Notes regarding the Multiple Undo operation>

•The time stamp of each take references to the internal clock of the recorder.

Therefore, after formatting the current drive disk, be sure to set the internal clock correctly. Refer to the Quick Operation Guide for more information on how to set the internal clock.

•Recording (or editing) more takes will consume more disk space on a current drive disk that was formatted with the Multiple Undo function turned on. This is because more disk space is required to enable the Undo function for any take. Therefore, such a current drive disk with a smaller capacity may not have enough disk space to perform the Multiple Undo function. In this case, performing the disk optimization in Setup mode may increase the free space available for the Undo function. (For more information, see the “Helpful Tips” on page 65.)

•If you use the Multiple Undo function, you cannot use the Single Undo/Redo function.

•If you try to use the Multiple Undo function on a current drive disk that was formatted with the Multiple Undo function turned off, the recorder displays “Void!” and ignores your operation.
