■Song Protection

Songs can be “protected” to prevent unwanted changes to the data. When a song is protected it can’t be recorded to, edited, or deleted.

1 Call the Setting page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [SONG] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F2] key after pressing the [SONG] key.

The SONG screen Setting page will appear.

2 Move the cursor to a location outside the SORT box, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the song to be protected.

The line enclosed by the dotted frame indicates the selected song to be protected.

3 Move the cursor to the PROTECT button and press the [ENTER] key.

When protection is turned on the PROTECT button will be highlighted and a “lock” icon will appear to the right of the song name.

■Optimizing a song

“Optimize” is an operation that deletes the undo/redo audio data maintained within the song. When you have finished recording and editing a song you can Optimize it to increase the amount of free space on the hard disk.

NOTE

•The deleted undo/redo audio data will be lost forever. Use this operation with caution.

1Call the Song List page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [SONG] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F1] key after pressing the [SONG] key.

The SONG screen Song List page will appear. The currently selected song in the Song List will be high- lighted (inverted).

2Move the cursor to a location outside the SORT box, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the song to be optimized.

The line enclosed by the dotted frame indicates the selected song to be optimized.

3Move the cursor to the OPTIMIZE button, and press the [ENTER] key.

A popup window will ask you to confirm the optimize operation.

HINT

•You may select the current song to be optimized. In this case, a popup window will ask you whether you want to save the current song. Move the cursor to the OK button (if you want to save) or the CANCEL button (if you don’t want to save), and press the [ENTER] key.

4 To execute the optimize operation, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

The undo/redo audio data of the song you selected in step 2 will be deleted, and you will return to step 1. If you decide not to execute the optimize operation, move the cursor to the CANCEL button and press the [ENTER] key.
