Chapter 6 Editing a Recorded Performance (Track Editing)

11.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

St (Start point)

Specifies the starting time of the copy range.

12.Press PARAMETER [ ]. “TRK Frm=” appears in the display.

13.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

Frm (From point)

Specifies the time of the copy source playback data in relation to the “To” point. Normally you will set this to be the same as the Start point.

Using “Frm” Effectively

Normally, the data is copied starting at the speci- fied copy destination time. However, if you want to have the copy made with reference to a point within the designated range where a specific sound occurs, set this with “Frm.”

For example, suppose that you wish to copy a sound effect of a time bomb ticking and then exploding, and that you want to place the explo- sion at a specific timing location. Normally, in order to specify the copy destination time, you would have to calculate the time until the explo- sion occurs. In such cases, however, you can spec- ify “Frm” as “the copy source time at which the explosion begins” and “TO” (the reference time of the copy destination) as “the copy destination time at which you want the explosion to occur.” This lets you copy the data with the explosion placed with precisely the right timing.

Specifies the ending time of the copy range.

16.Press PARAMETER [ ]. “TRK To =” appears in the display.

17.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

To (To point)

Specifies the reference time of the copy destination.

18.Press PARAMETER [ ].

“TRK Copy Time=” appears in the display.

19.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

Copy Time

This specifies the number of times (1–99) the data is to be copied.

20.Press PARAMETER [ ].

“TRK Track Copy OK ?” appears in the display.

21.Press [YES].

This executes Track Copy. If you wish to cancel, press [NO].

22.When the copy is completed correctly, “Complete” appears in the display, and return to Play condition.

An Easy Way to Specify the Time Settings

Times for the “St,” “Frm,” “End,” and “To” can be specified directly without having to display the Track Copy page. In Play condition, use the fol- lowing procedure.

1.Move to the beginning (“St”) of the copy source performance data.

2.Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC1/5].

3.Move to the time location in the destination to which the performance data will be copied (“Frm”).

4.Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC2/6].

5.Move to the end location of the copy source performance data (“End”).

6.Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC3/7].

7.Move to the basic time of the copy destination (“To”).

8.Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC4/8].

If you now access the Track Copy page, the times that were specified in steps 1–8 will be input as the time settings for the respective points.
