Roland Vs-880 When the disk has little remaining space, Canceling the last-performed Undo Redo

Chapter 9 Other convenient functions

■Canceling the last-performed

Undo (Redo)

The Redo function can be executed if the UNDO indicator is lit. If the song data is saved, for example by your doing STORE Current or selecting another song, the UNDO indi- cator will go out and the Undo function will no longer be available.

1.Hold down [SHIFT] and press [UNDO]. When Redo is executed, the UNDO indicator will go dark.

■Canceling only the last-per-

formed operation

If you most frequently use the Undo function to undo just the previously performed recording/editing operation (i.e., undo level 1), you may prefer not to be bothered with the messages that appear when the [UNDO] button is pressed. In this case, make the following settings so that just the pre- vious operation will be undone immediately when the [UNDO] button is pressed.

1.Press [SYSTEM]. If a message with a question mark such as “SYS System PRM?” does not appear, press [SYSTEM] once again.

2.Use PARAMETER [ ][ ] to get the “SYS System PRM?” message, and press [YES].

3.Use PARAMETER [ ][ ] to get the “SYS UNDO MESSAGE=,” and use the TIME/VALUE dial to set this “Off.”

4.When the setting has been made, press [PLAY (DIS- PLAY)] to return to Play condition.

UNDO MSG (Undo message)

If, when [UNDO] is pressed, you want the previous opera- tion to be undone immediately without a confirmation mes- sage appearing, set this ÒOff.Ó Normally you should set this ÒOn.Ó

When the disk has little remaining space

■Deleting only unneeded perfor-

mance data (Song Optimize)

When operations such as overdubbing and punch-in recording are repeated, the old data will remain in the disk drive. In some cases, significant amounts of memory can be occupied by this unnecessary data, decreasing the available space on the current drive, and shortening the length of time available for recording.

The Optimize operation erases this unnecessary data from the disk drive, increasing the available disk space.

1.Press [SONG], and select “SNG Song Optimize?”, press [YES].

2.The display will ask “SongOptimize Ok?”, so press [YES].

3.The display will ask “Optimize Sure ?”, so press [YES] and the Optimize operation will be executed.

Depending on the situation, an appreciable length of time will be required for the Optimize operation to be completed. This is not a malfunction. Do not turn the power off until the Optimize operation is completed.

■Deleting one song of perfor-

mance data (Song Erase)

This erases song data from the current drive.

1.Press [SONG], select “SNG Song Erase?,” and press [YES].

2.The names of the songs stored on the current drive will appear. Select the song that you wish to erase, and execute.

An asterisk Ò✱Ó will appear at the beginning of the cur- rently selected song. If the currently selected song has been erased, the lowest-numbered song in the current drive will be selected.
