Chapter 6 Editing a Recorded Performance (Track Editing)

If you have selected an item which specifies a time, a play list will appear in the bar display. In this case if you wish to view an amplitude profile or the track selection status in the bar display, hold down [SHIFT] and press [PLAY (DISPLAY)]. The amplitude profile allows you to view the sound recorded in the selected track as a waveform. Use [SELECT (CH EDIT)] to select the track which will be viewed as an amplitude profile.

Repeating Performance Data

(Track Copy)

This operation copies the playback data of a specified area to another location. For example, this is conve- nient when you play the same chorus both at the beginning and end of a song. If playback data exists at the copy destination, that data will be overwritten.

Example1: Copying twice to the same track

	A		A'	A"
Start		End To			Time

Example2: Copying twice to a defferent track

B

		B'	B"
Start	End To			Time

*Playback data of a track for which Channel Link is ON cannot be copied to a track whose channel has a Channel Link setting of OFF. In the same way, playback data of a track for which Channel Link is OFF cannot be copied to a track whose channel has a Channel Link setting of ON.

6.Press [STATUS] for the copy destination track. The STATUS indicator will light red.

7.Rotating the TIME/VALUE dial allows you to specify the copy destination V-track. For example, “1-1” indicates “Track 1, V-track 1.”

The SELECT indicator will blink orange.
