Basic procedure for track editing

■Select the track(s) to edit

After you choose an editing command, the next step is to specify the track(s) that will be edited.

3 To select the track for editing, move the cur- sor to the TR (Track) field in the left of the screen, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/[DEC] keys.

TR field

In the TR field you can select the following types of data.

•1–24 .................. An audio track

•1&2–23&24....... A pair of adjacent odd-numbered/ even-numbered audio tracks

•ST ..................... The stereo track

•ALL ................... Audio tracks 1–24

•CLIP.................. Sound clip

4 Select the virtual track that you want to edit.

If you selected an audio track (1–24, 1&2–23&24, ST) in step 3, the V.TR field will appear at the right, allow- ing you to select the virtual track number. Move the cursor to this field and select a virtual track number 1– 8.

•For some commands, you will need to specify both source and destination tracks.

■Specify the editing region

For most commands, you will need to set the Start (the beginning of the edited region) and End (the end of the edited region) parameters to specify the region that will be affected by the command.

5 To specify the beginning of the region to be edited, move the cursor to the desired digit of the Start field, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/[DEC] keys.

The Start/End parameters are displayed at the right of the TR field.

Start parameter (beginning of the region to be edited)

End parameter (end of the region to be edited)

You can set the Start/End parameters in terms of the counter display format (the value at the left) or in units of measures/beats (the value at the right). Move the cur- sor to the digit that you want to change, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/[DEC] keys to set the value.

NOTE

•If you selected the sound clip as the object for editing, the region from the start point of the sound clip to its end point will always be the object of editing. If necessary, you should spec- ify the start point and end point of the sound clip beforehand.

6 To specify the end of the region to be edited, move the cursor to the desired digit of the End field, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/[DEC] keys.

HINT

•If you move the cursor to the Start or End parameter and press the [ENTER] key, the current counter location will be input. Alternatively, you can recall a locate point or marker to move to that location in the song, and then press the [ENTER] key to input that location as the value of the Start or End parameter.

NOTE

•For some commands, you will also need to specify a location in the editing-destination track. In the same way as described above, move the cursor to the counter display format field or the measure/beat field, and specify the location.

■Execute the command

When you have finished setting parameters, execute the command.

7 Move the cursor to the EXECUTE button, and press the [ENTER] key.

A popup window will ask you to confirm the opera- tion.

8 Move the cursor to the OK button to exe- cute the command, or move the cursor to the CANCEL button to cancel without exe- cuting. Then press the [ENTER] key.

HINT

•Even after you press the [ENTER] key to execute the com- mand, you can press the [UNDO/REDO] key to return to the state prior to executing the command. You can use this func- tion to compare the original data with the results produced by executing the command.

NOTE

•If as a result of executing a command, a track no longer con- tains any recorded data, the name of that track will change to “-NO REC-“.
