3.Inserting a blank space into the track data (Insert Track)

This operation inserts a blank space into the speci- fied area (IN–OUT) of a recorded track. When the blank is inserted, the original data will be moved toward the end of the song to make room for the blank. A blank can be inserted into a single track, or into multiple tracks at once. If you wish to add phrases to the middle of previously recorded data, use this operation to insert a blank space of the appropriate length, and then record onto that area.

■Inserting a blank space into the IN–OUT area of a track

As an example, here’s how to insert a blank space into the IN–OUT area of track 1.

1As described in “1. Storing IN, OUT and TO loca- tions”, store the IN and OUT locations.

2Press the [EDIT] key, and then press the [SONG/ TRACK] key several times to access the “Edit- Track” display.

4Rotate the [VALUE] dial to set the destination track (the track into which the blank space will be inserted) to 1.

5Make sure that you have made the correct settings. If you are sure that you wish to execute the Insert

Blank Space operation, press and hold the [ ] key for approximately one second. When the blank space has been inserted, the display will indicate “Completed”.

6Move to the IN location, and playback to check that the blank space was inserted correctly. If it was inserted into the wrong location, press the [UNDO] key to return the data to the previous condition, and then perform the Insert Blank Space operation once again.

Example: Inserting a blank into the IN–OUT area of track 1

Destination track	1	2	3		4	5	6
(before execution)		IN		OUT
Destination track
	1	2			3	4	5	6
(after execution)		IN		OUT

4.Erasing data from a track (Erase Track)

This operation erases data from a specified area (IN–OUT) of a recorded track. Single tracks or mul- tiple tracks can be erased simultaneously. The erased area will be blank, and even if recorded data exists following the erased area, it will not be moved forward.
