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.
