1Store the In and Out time locations in the [IN (LOC1)] key and [OUT (LOC2)] key.

2Select “TRK EDIT” mode.

Set the [MODE] knob to “TRK EDIT.”

3Select the Delete operation.

Use the [VALUE] dial to select “DelTrack,” and press the CURSOR [] key.

4Select “DeleteTo” (track number from which you want to delete data).

Use the [VALUE] dial to select the number of the track from which you want to delete data. For this example, select “1.” Then press the CURSOR [] key.

5Specify the InTime (“In” time location) and Out- Time.

Use the [VALUE] dial to make your selections (see “Copy Track”). Then press the CURSOR [] key. To use the time locations you specified in Step 1, select “LOC 1 (IN)” as the “In” time and “LOC 2 (OUT)” as the “Out” time.

You can press the [IN (LOC1)] or [OUT (LOC2)] key at this point to modify the selected time. You can also press the [PLAY] key to audition the playback for approximately two seconds starting at the selected time. Modifying the time here will not affect the time that is registered in the key.

6Execute the operation.

When the display asks “Del OK?,” press the CURSOR [ ] key to execute the operation. When the data has been deleted, the display will indicate “Finish!”

7Press the [PLAY] key to listen to the play back, and verify that the operation occurred as you intended.

You can press the [UNDO] key to return to the state prior to executing this operation. (→p.26)

Expansion/Compression — expanding/compressing a track

This operation expands or compresses the specified region (In–Out) of recorded track data, and places it in a specified location (To–End). Expansion will increase the playback time required for this region. Compression will decrease (make shorter) the playback time of this region. The data that fol- lows the expanded/compressed data (i.e., the data following the End point) will be shifted in relation to the entire song. You can select whether or not the pitch will be converted.
