3. Undo and RedoWhen the UNDO or REDO LED is lit, you can cancel the pre-
ceding operation or revert to the state prior to cancelling.
Undo and Redo let you revert only the single most recently
executed operation.
Undo and Redo are available for the following operations.
•Channel track recording (→p.27)
• Overdub recording (→p.27)
• Bounce recording (→p.27)
• Master track recording (→p.28)
•Track copy (→p.37)
•Track erase (→p.38)
•Track swap (→p.38)
The undo and redo data is erased when you perform Song
Select or Reload (the UNDO and REDO LEDs will go dark).
Examples
• Copy a track
1) Copy a track (→p.37 “2-1. Copy a track (Copy)”).
2) The UNDO LED will light.
3) Press the UNDO/REDO button.
4) The UNDO LED will go dark, and the REDO LED will
light.
5) The track copy operation will be cancelled.
In this way, Undo will cancel the preceding operation, but
you can use Redo to bring back the cancelled operation.
• Bring back the cancelled track copy operation
1) Make sure that the REDO LED is lit.
2) Press the UNDO/REDO button.

Undo will cancel the most recently performed operation, but
Redo will cancel the operation only if you executed Undo.
4. Formatting the driveThis operation will format the
D888
’s hard disk drive.
You should execute this operation if you want to erase all the
data stored on the drive, or if a “Drive error occurred” mes-
sage appears frequently.
Remember that all data on the drive will be erased when you
execute the Format operation, so please be sure that you’re
not erasing any data you need to keep. If necessary, you can
make a backup before you execute this operation. (→“5. Con-
necting to a computer,” below)
If the power is turned off accidentally while the drive is being for-
matted, it is possible that the
D888
may stop operating correctly.
1) Press the MENU button to access the Menu screen.
2) Use the cursor up/down buttons to select “8. HDD For-
mat”.
Alternatively, you can select “8. HDD Format” by press-
ing channel button “8” instead of using the cursor up/
down buttons.
3) Press the ENTER/OK button.
The screen will ask “HDD Format: All Data... Are you
sure?”
If you decide not to format the drive, press the EXIT/
CANCEL button to return to the Menu screen.
4) To format the drive, use the cursor left/right buttons to
select “Yes” for the “Execute” field, and then press the
ENTER/OK button once again.
The screen will indicate “HDD Format: Working...”, and
then “HDD Format: Completed” when formatting is
complete.
You won’t be able to format the drive if the D888’s hard disk
contains even one protected song. In this case, check the “Ig-
nore Protect: ON” check box before you execute the HDD
Format operation.

puter to the
