Chapter 6 Editing a Recorded Performance (Track Editing)

Using “Frm” Effectively

Normally, the data is copied starting at the speci- fied move destination time. However, if you want to have the move 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 move 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 move 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 move source time at which the explosion begins” and “TO” (the reference time of the move destination) as “the move destination time at which you want the explosion to occur.” This lets you move the data with the explosion placed with precisely the right timing.

14.Press PARAMETER [ ]. “TRK End=” appears in the display.

15.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.

End (End point)

Specifies the ending time of the move 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 move destination.

18.Press PARAMETER [ ].

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

19.Press [YES].

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

20.When the move 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 Move page. In Play condition, use the fol- lowing procedure.

1.Move to the beginning (“St”) of the move 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 moved (“Frm”).

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

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

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

7.Move to the basic time of the move destina- tion (“To”).

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

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

Exchanging Performance Data

Between Tracks (Track Exchange)

This operation exchanges the playback data of two tracks.

Example: Exchanging tracks 1 and 2

*Playback data of a track for which Channel Link is ON cannot be exchanged 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 exchanged to a track whose channel has a Channel Link setting of ON.
