COPY -> PASTE

This function takes the section of a track or tracks marked by the IN and OUT points, copies it, and pastes it at the TO point on the cho- sen track or tracks.

The original source is left unchanged.

The copy operation overwrites anything which is already recorded at the destination. The track is the same length as it was before the operation.

You can copy the section more than once in one operation.

You can change the following values:

Src.Trk This sets the source track or tracks from which the section is cop ied. Choose 1 through 8 to select an individual track. Choose 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8 to select a pair of tracks. Choose 1-8to select all tracks.

Dst. Trk This sets the destination track or tracks to which the selected section is pasted. What you can select here depends on what you have selected for the source track. If you have selected a single track, you can select tracks 1 through 8 here. If you have selected a pair of tracks (for instance, 1/2), you can only select track pairs here. If you have selected all tracks (1-8), then 1-8is the only option available to you here.

Times This is the number of times that the selected section is pasted into the destination track or tracks. You can set this value from 1 to 99.

Press YES to perform the operation or NO to leave this screen.

COPY -> INSERT

This function takes the section of a track or tracks marked by the IN and OUT points, copies it, and inserts it on the chosen track or tracks, as new material, starting at the TO point.

The original source is left unchanged.

The insert operation adds the selected section as new material to the desti nation. Nothing is overwritten at the destination, as any existing material following the TO point is moved to the end of the newlyserted section.

The track is now longer than it was before the operation.

You can copy the section more than once in one operation (for example, to repeat a verse/chorus section).
