Creating a song for recording

This section describes how to create a new song for recording on the hard disk, while keeping the demo song. In the following procedure, it is assumed that the MR-8HD/CD is stopped at the beginning (ABS ZERO) of the demo song.

1)While the recorder is stopped, press the [MENU/ENTER] knob to enter the menu mode.

The display now shows the first page of the menu selection screen, where " Back" is highlighted initially.

<Note>: By selecting " Back" and pressing the [MENU/ENTER] knob, the display returns to the previous screen. You can also return the display to the previous screen by press- ing the [REWIND] key.

4)Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select

"- - -:(New Song)", and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.

The display now shows the screen for entering a new song name. The rightmost character on the default song name is flashing (in the ex- ample below, "2" of "Song02" starts flashing).

2)Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select "Song ", and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.

The display now shows the first page of the song menu screen, where " Back" is highlighted initially.

3)Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select "Select Song ", and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.

The display now shows the first page of the song selection screen. You can see the list of the song numbers/names on the hard disk.

Currently, only the demo song is created, and "S01: FOSTEX_FEVER" and "---:(New Song)" are shown.

"---:(New Song)" is used to create a new song.

Flashing

5)Enter the desired song name.

Use the character entry keys to enter the de- sired character at the flashing point.

Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to move the flashing point. Use the [UNDO/REDO]/[DELETE] key to delete the character at the flashing point. Therefore, when the rightmost character is flashing as in the screen example above, you can delete all characters by pressing the [UNDO/ REDO]/[DELETE] key repeatedly. You can en- ter up to 16 characters for a song name.

See <How to enter characters> on the next page for entering the song name as "My_Song".

<Note>: You may leave the default song name as it is. Also, you can edit the song name after creating a song using the "Re- name Song" menu item in the song menu of the menu mode (see page 99).
