Operation

3. Track editing

You can use track editing commands to copy a track, insert blank space, erase a track, delete a track, reverse a track, optimize a track, exchange tracks, expand/compress a track, copy an entire track, exchange two entire tracks, create a fade-in/fade-out, or normalize the level.

In some cases, track editing may not be possible if there is insufficient space on the song drive. You will need to allocate enough free space for the track editing operation (equivalent to the IN–OUT or TO–END time).

3-1. Preparations for track editing

•In order to perform track editing, you must first register the region (the area of time) that you want to edit.

•Move to the counter location that you want to register.

•Press the [STORE] key, and then press one of the follow-

ing keys to register the time in that key. (→ p.33) [IN/LOC1] key: IN time

[OUT/LOC2] key: OUT time

[TO/LOC3] key: TO time

[END/LOC4] key: END time

• Select a virtual track. (→ p.53)

Use “DestTrack” to select track “2.”

If you selected two or more tracks for “SourceTrack,” you must specify the same number of tracks for “Dest- Track.”

5Specify the number of times that the data will be copied. Set “Times” to “3.”

6Select the “Exec.” button and press the [ENTER] key. When the display asks “AreYouSure?,” press the [YES/ OK] key to execute the operation.

When the operation has been completed, the display will indicate “Completed.” Press the [YES/OK] key.

The copied data will be overwritten onto the copy-destination track.

7Check the results of the editing operation.

Press the [TO/LOC3] key, and play back from the TO location to verify that the data was copied correctly.

If you are not satisfied with the results, you can use Undo to return to the previous state. (→ p.126)

Copying track data to a track in a different song

Here’s how the IN–OUT region of track 1 in song 001 can be copied once to the TO location of track 2 in song 002.

3-2. Track editing procedures

Copy a track: “CopyTrack”

This command copies the specified region (IN–OUT) of track data to another location (TO).

•The IN–OUT region can be copied once, or multiple times in succession.

•You can copy data from one track, or from multiple tracks simultaneously.

•By using the clipboard, you can copy track data to a dif-

ferent song.

Here are some ways in which you can use this command.

•Repeatedly copy a phrase of several measures (such as a drum pattern) to create a track that extends the entire length of song.

•Copy the first verse of a song to create the second verse.

•Record a favorite phrase from a track, and copy it to a different track or song.
