Track editing

STEP8 This section explains the editing operations (copy, insert blank, delete, exchange etc.) that can be performed on tracks.

1.Storing IN, OUT and TO times

In order to edit track data, you must store the time locations at which editing will be performed. As explained in “3. Locate points (LOC1, LOC2, LOC3)” (p.25), LOC1 functions as the IN time, LOC2 as the OUT time, and LOC3 as the TO time.

1Change the current time location to the point that you wish to store as the IN time. (Refer to “1. Mov- ing the current time”, p.24)

The IN time will function as follows for each edit- ing operation.

Copy Track: the beginning of the source data that will be copied

Insert Track: the location at which the blank will be inserted

Erase Track: the location at which erasure will begin

Delete Track: the location at which deletion will begin

Swap Track: the location at which the exchange will begin

2Press the [STORE] key to access the “Store” dis- play, and then press the [IN/LOC 1] key to store the IN time.

3Change the current time location to the point that you wish to store as the OUT time.

The OUT time will function as follows for each editing operation.

Copy Track: the end of the source data that will be copied

Insert Track: the location at which the inserted blank will end

Erase Track: the location at which erasure will end

Delete Track: the location at which deletion will end

Swap Track: the location at which the exchange will end

4Press the [STORE] key to access the “Store” dis- play, and then press the [OUT/LOC 2] key to store the OUT time.

5Change the current time location to the point that you wish to store as the TO time.

The TO time needs to be stored only if you are using the Copy Track operation, and will be the time at which the data will be placed in the copy destination track.

6Press the [STORE] key to access the “Store” dis- play, and press the [TO/LOC 3] key to store the TO time.

2. Copying track data (Track Copy)

This operation copies a portion (IN–OUT) of a

 

 

recorded track to another location (TO). You can

 

 

copy data from a single track or from multiple

 

 

tracks simultaneously. You can also copy the data

 

 

more than one time. By using the clipboard, you

 

 

can copy data to another song.

 

 

 

 

For example, you could use this to repeatedly copy

a phrase of several measures, such as a drum pat-

 

 

tern, or record a favorite phrase in one track, and

 

 

use it by copying it to other tracks or songs.
