Editing Songs

This chapter explains the procedure for editing songs.

Loading the Song You Want to Edit

The internal song will be lost if you turn power off or load another song into internal memory. If internal memory contains a song you wish to keep, you must save that song to disk (p. 135).

2.Press [MENU] to open the Menu window.

3.Press or to select “Song Edit,” and then press [8 (Select)].
