Undoing the last operation (single undo)

Press the UN/REDO key to return to the state before the last operation was conducted. After doing this, the UN/REDO indicator lights, showing that redo (see below) is possible.

Indicator

Cancelling an undo operation (redo)

Press the UN/REDO key when it is lit to return to the state of the last operation. The UN/ REDO indicator turns OFF.

NOTE

If single undo is used when multi-undo (described below) has already been used to return the unit to a previous state, it will go one more step backward.

If you press the UN/REDO key again to redo, the single undo operation is cancelled, and the previous multi-undo state is restored. In this case, the operations undone by multi- undo are still retained in history, so the UN/ REDO indicator stays lit.

Undoing a previous operation (multi-undo)

1 Press the HISTORY key to open the

HISTORY screen.

This screen shows the operation history as a list. Each operation in the list is called an “event.” The event list starts at the bottom with event number “0” (-STARTUP-). The top event is the most recent and has “*” next to it.

All events that occurred after a selected event can be undone at once. This operation is called “multi-undo” because it allows you to undo multiple events and return to an earlier state.

2Turn the DATA wheel to select the event that you want to return to (all events after the selected event will be undone).

3Press the F2 (EXEC) key to execute the multi-undo and restore the song state to just after the selected event was conducted. In this state, the UN/REDO indicator lights.

The unit has been returned to a previous state, but the event information undone through the above operation is not erased. The unit has simply been returned to a previous state. On the HISTORYscreen, a * appears next to the most recent event after undoing.

NOTE

When the HISTORY screen is open, the UN/ REDO key does not function, so single undo and redo cannot be used.

CAUTION

•When saving a song, a maximum of 500 items can be saved in the operation history as song data. If the operation history exceeds 500 items, the oldest events in the history are erased when the song is saved. Erased events cannot be restored.

•When the power is turned OFF the operation history is completely erased. The operation history is not restored when the power is turned ON again.
