<Helpful Tips>

To increase the free space on the disk available for the Multiple Undo function, optimize the current drive disk using the “Disk Optimize?” menu in Setup mode. However, remember that if you optimize a current drive disk that recorded several takes, only the most recent take will remain and other takes will be erased. If you wish to keep other takes, follow the procedure below, then optimize the disk.

<Keeping only one take>

• First, apply the Multiple Undo function to the take you wish to keep, then optimize the disk.

For example, if six takes exist on the disk, as shown below, and you wish to keep only Take 4, apply the Multiple Undo function to Take 4. As shown on the second time axis, Take 4 moves up to the most recent position. Now, if you optimize the disk, all takes but Take 4 will be erased.

<Keeping multiple takes>

• Apply the Multiple Undo to the desired takes and copy the Program.

For example, if you wish to keep Take 2 and Take 4, follow the procedure described above to apply the Multiple Undo function to Take 2, then create a copy of the Program. (The Program copy will have only Take 2 available for the Multiple Undo function.) In the same way, apply the Multiple Undo function to Take 4 this time, then create another copy of the Program. In this way, you can create copies of the Programs that contain the desired takes.
