Checking the clipboard data

*Hold down the STOP button and press the PLAY button. The FD-8 indicates whether the sound data on the clipboard is a copied data or moved data ([Copy Clip] or [Move Clip]) and plays the data (this is called clipboard playback). The sound being played back can be heard if the MON knob of the channel corresponding to the copied (or moved) track, is rotated toward “TRK,” and the monitor section MASTER knob is raised.

During playback, the RECORD TRACK LED of the copied (or moved) track will blink.

*Press the EDIT key again to get ready for the paste operation. [Copy Paste] or [Move Paste] flashes on the display.
