• Copying to the clipboard

1)Load the song you want to edit.

2)Store the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points (see page 53).

You can check the part by playing back between the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points (see page 68).

3)While the recorder is stopped, press the [MENU] key to enter the menu mode.

The display shows the menu selection screen, in which "System" is highlighted initially.

4)Use the [CURSOR ] key to highlight "Part", then press the [ENTER] key.

The display now shows the part edit menu selec- tion screen, in which "Erase Part" is highlighted ini- tially.

<Note>

If you want to copy a part and paste it to the same position of the other track(s), we rec- ommend to use the other copy/paste method described later in "Copying/pasting (2)" (though, of course, you can make such a copy/paste operation with the method described here).

<Note>

You cannot copy/paste track data of a song protected. Release the protection before mak- ing the copy/paste operation.

<Note>

If you turn off the power after copying data to the clipboard, the data on the clipboard disappears. Also note that you cannot undo copying data to the clipboard.

5)Use the [CURSOR ] key to highlight "Copy Part", then press the [ENTER] key.

The display now shows the screen for selecting the track(s) of which you copy data.

6)Use the [CURSOR /] keys to select the track(s).

You can select from among mono tracks (1 through 8) and stereo pair tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8).

7)Use the [CURSOR ] key to move the cursor to "[ENTER]" at the lower right on the screen, then press the [ENTER] key.

The display shows "Please Wait!", immediately fol- lowed by "Completed!" when the MR-8 completes the copy operation. To cancel the copy operation, move the cursor to "[CANCEL]" at the lower left on the screen, then press the [ENTER] key.
