Combining recorded tracks

— Combine Function

This function lets you put several tracks or several independently recorded portions into a single track. The total number of tracks decrease by one and all the tracks following the combined ones are renumbered.

Example: Combining tracks B and C.

1 Turn SELECTOR until the second track of the two to be combined appears.

For example, to combine tracks 2 and 3, select track 3.

2 Press EDIT/NO repeatedly until the selected track number and

“3 Combine ?” appear.

3 Press ENTER/YES.

“Rehearsal” and “Track ok?” appear alternately and the portion where the two tracks will join (i.e., the end of the first track and the beginning of the second track) is played repeatedly.

To cancel the Combine Function at this time, press p.

4 Press ENTER/YES again when you find the portion.

“Complete” appears for a few seconds and the tracks are combined.

Notes

When “SHUFFLE” or “PROGRAM” appears in the display, press CONTINUE so that the indication disappears.

If both of the combined tracks have track titles, the title of the second track is erased.

If “Sorry” appears, the tracks cannot be combined. This happens when you have edited the same track too many times. This is due to a technical limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
