The V-Track map on the display shows you which V-Tracks are currently selected
for editing. Any V-Track with a flashing, wide white box is selected for editing.

Selection Using the TRACK Menu’s Onscreen Selection Tools

For most of the TRACK menu’s editing operations, when you want to select a phrase or
region using the TRACK menu onscreen selection tools, you press:
•

F1 (SelPhr)

—to select a phrase •

F1 (SelTrk)

—to select a region
When you press F1 (SelPhr) or F1 (SelTrk), the phrase or region selection display
appears in the upper part of the screen—just beneath the current time location
display—while the playlist is visible in the lower part of the screen.

To select a phrase or region using the TRACK menu’s onscreen tools:

1. Use the cursor buttons to select the track containing the desired phrase or region.
2. Press F3 (MARK) to select the track’s phrase or region—a
checkmark appears to the track’s left to show it’s selected.
3. To unselect a track, press F3 (MARK) again—the checkmark is removed.
If the editing operation involves moving or copying audio
between tracks, you see an arrow to the right of the track you’ve
selected. This arrow points to a destination V-Track.
After you’ve selected the desired phrase(s) or regions(s), set up the rest of the edit
operation on the display.
When you’re performing phrase deletion, normalization or naming, or region
exchanging or naming, there’s no need to press F1—the desired selection display
appears on the edit operation’s main screen.
There are no phrase or region selection displays for creating a new phrase, importing a
region from another project or re-arranging the order of regions in a project.
If you select a phrase or region on one of a pair of linked tracks, the phrase—if it’s
touching the timeline—or region on the other linked track is also selected.
When you’re selecting phrases, only tracks containing a phrase that’s touching the
timeline can be marked. You can mark additional phrases on the other tracks by
cursoring up to the current time location display and turning the TIME/VALUE dial to
move the timeline to the desired phrases. You can then mark their tracks.
On many editing screens, you can see each track’s name. On selection screens that
allow you to choose V-Tracks, only track numbers are shown to make room.
You can select tracks that
have a phrase touching the
timeline.
You can select any track—whether it
contains audio in the defined region or
not—since regions can contain silence.
