Chapter 10 Track and Phrase Editing

Track Copy

This operation copies audio to another location on the timeline, and simultaneously, to another playback track, if desired. This is convenient when you want the same chorus to occur at several different points of the song, but you don’t want to re-record it each time.

*Set the track copy so it is longer than 0.5 seconds. If this is less than 0.5 seconds or shorter, the performance data will be copied but may not be played.

1.Hold [SHIFT] and press [F2 (TRACK)].

2.Make sure “Track Edit Menu” appears in the display. If it does not, press [F1 (Tr/Ph)] once.

3.Press [F2 (Copy)] for Track Copy.

If you don’t see “Copy” above [F2], press [PAGE] until “Copy” appears, and then press [F2 (Copy)].

4.The track SELECT buttons are used to select the source track(s) and the STATUS buttons are used to select the destination track(s). Press the Track SELECT button to specify the track to be copied. The SELECT button stops blinking, indicating it is the track to be copied.

Press the Track STATUS button for the desired destination track. The STATUS button turns red.

*If you want to select TR 1-12, press [FADER/MUTE] several times until the “TR” indicator lights.

If you want to select TR 13-18, press [FADER/MUTE] several times until the “TR” indicator blinks.

→ “Switching the Fader Functions” (p. 71)

For example, if you wanted to copy the section of audio from Track 3 to Track 7, you would first press the Track 3 SELECT button, then press Track 7 STATUS.

Alternate method:

a.Press [F1 (SelTr)].

b.Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to the track you want to copy.

c.Press [F3 (MARK)].

If you would like to copy entire sections of your song, you can press [F2 (All)] to select all tracks for copying.

e.Use the TIME/VALUE dial to specify the V-Track for the destination. For example, “1-1” indicates “Track 1, V-Track 1,” and “9L-1” indicates “Track 9, V-Track 1.”

*Do not designate V-Tracks that have already been specified as copy destinations for other tracks.

Press [F1 (Back)].

5.Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor. Set the START, END, FROM, and TO values.

A quick way to enter edit points (START, END, FROM, and TO) is to create a locator for each edit point (p. 43) before entering the edit screen. Then go to the desired edit screen (such as Erase, Copy, Cut). You can enter your edit points by pressing a LOCATOR button and then holding [SHIFT] and pressing [LOC 1] to enter that point as the START time, [SHIFT] + [LOC 2] to enter that point as the END time,

[SHIFT] + [LOC 3] to enter that point as the FROM time, or [SHIFT]+ [LOC 4] to enter that point as the TO time.
