Chapter 12 Other Convenient Functions

However if you once again record (step 3’) after returning to the condition of recording number 2, the recordings 3–5 that were canceled by the Undo opera- tion will be lost. This means that if after step 3’ you use the Undo operation to return to the previous step, you will return to the condition of step 2.

Recording and Editing Operations

Which Can Be Undone (Undo)

Recording or editing operations performed after creat- ing a song are recorded together with the song data as its operation history, and the data itself is also pre- served without being erased. For example, suppose that you perform 10 recording operations on song 1 and then create song 2. The operation history of song 2 is newly recorded from the time when song 2 was cre- ated. If you subsequently select song 1 again, the his- tory of the 10 previous recording operations will still be there.

The Undo function refers to the operation history of the currently selected song, and restores the song to the condition in which it was the specified number of operations ago. In the case of song 1 in this example, you will be able to cancel the 10 recording operations that were performed. A maximum of 999 levels of operation history may be recorded for each song.

Operations That Can Be Undone

Operations that can be undone are recording operations and each of the Track Edit opera- tions. Check the list below for operations that cannot be undone.

Song Edit operations (Optimize/Erase/etc.)

Canceling the Last-Performed Undo

(Redo)

The Redo function can be executed when the UNDO indicator is lit. When the song data is saved, for exam- ple by your doing Song Store or selecting another song, the UNDO indicator will go out, indicating that the Undo function will no longer be available.

1.While the UNDO indicator is lit, hold down [SHIFT] and press [UNDO].

2.“Cancel the last UNDO?” appears in the display. Press [F4 (Exec)].

The UNDO indicator light goes off. If you wish to can- cel, press [CANCEL (NO)].

Canceling Only the Very Last-

Performed Operation

If you most frequently use the Undo function to undo just the previously performed recording/editing oper- ation (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 fol- lowing settings so that just the previous operation will be undone immediately when the [UNDO] button is pressed.

1.Press [SYSTEM] several times until “SYS System PRM ?” appears in the display.

2.Press [YES].

3.Press PARAMETER [ ] several times until “SYS UNDO MSG=” appears in the display.
