Shortcuts for Selecting Tracks During Song Split

When the cursor is moved to “Track,” you can have marks simultaneously set or deleted from all selected tracks. For example, if you move the cursor to the actual track number column, and press [F3 (Mark)], marks will be set for all V-Tracks on the selected track. Similarly, if you move the cursor to the row for the V-Track number and press [F3 (Mark)], all V-Tracks will be selected. For example, if you move the cursor to “V-Track 3” and press [F3 (Mark)], the third V-Track in all tracks will be marked. Press [F2 (ALL)] to place or remove marks from all tracks and V-Tracks simultaneously.

Song Combine

Song Combine allows you to combine the V-Tracks of two different songs. When Song Combine is executed, all tracks from a second song (source song) are moved to the current song (destination song), and the second song is deleted.

It is not possible to cancel Song Combine using the Undo function, so it is recommended that before you perform Song Combine, make a backup of both the source and destination songs using a CD-R, CD-RW or DAT recorder.

You can perform Song Combine with any two VS-1824 songs that have the same sample rate and Record mode. The information copied to the current song includes performance data (audio) and the information that designates the track numbers the performance data is recorded on. Other settings such as markers, locators, Automix, tempo maps, sync tracks and system settings are not copied, and will be lost when the source song is erased.

As a result of Song Combine, it is possible for the tracks of the source song to overwrite the tracks of the destination song. To prevent this from happening, use Track Exchange to move all the V-Tracks in the source song to odd-numbered positions, and all the V-Tracks in the destination song to even-numbered positions. Later, after Song Combine is finished, you can use Track Exchange to re-position all the V-Tracks as desired.

1.First, select the desired song to be used as the destination and current song.

2.Hold [SHIFT] and press [F1 (Song)]. The Song menu icon appears.

3.Press [F2 (Combn)].

If “Combn” does not appear in the display above [F2], press [PAGE] until you see “Combn,” and then press [F2 (Combn)].
