5Press the [EXIT/NO] (or [STOP]) key.

Track editing

Because the VF80 uses a 3.5-inch E-IDE hard disk as the recording media, you can make non-linear and non- destructive audio editing by track effectively.

Copy & Paste

The Copy & Paste function allows you to copy track data of a desired part and paste it to a desired part of the same or different track.

The copied data remains after pasting the data, so you can paste the data as many times as required.

The copy & paste function is useful when using the same musical part repeatedly in a song.

Move & Paste

The Move & Paste function allows you to move track data of a desired part and paste it to a desired part of the same or different track.

Unlike the copy & paste operation, the moved data does not remain in the original position.

<Notes>

Copy data (or Move data) is replaced with the new data every time the copy (or move) operation is carried out.

Note that copy data changes if you paste the copy data to the original data.

The copy & paste (or move & paste) editing is performed on the current program. Therefore, do not change the current program until the editing operations are completed.
