Basic track editing procedure
1. Specify the region (time) that will be edited.
In order to edit a track, you must first specify the
region (area of time) that will be edited.
Move to the location that you wish to register.
Press the [STORE] key, and then press one of the
following keys to register the corresponding location.
[IN/LOC1] key
: IN time
[OUT/LOC2] key
: OUT time
[TO/LOC3] key
: TO time
[END/LOC4] key
: END time
For details, refer to “Using the locate keys to move”
(→p.46).
The IN, OUT, TO, and END times are used as follows
by each editing command.
How the editing commands use the IN, OUT, TO, and END times
Depending on the “EditType,” the “Wave” button
may appear, allowing you to view the waveform as
you specify the location more precisely. (→p.101)
2. Access the [TRACK] “EditTrk” tab page.
3. Select the type of operation that you wish to execute
(copy, insert blank, etc.).
Select “EditType.” Select the area to the right of the
“ ” button, and rotate the [VALUE] dial to select the
desired editing operation.
Alternatively, you can press the “ ” button to dis-
play “Select EditTrack Type,” and select the type of
editing.
4. Select the track(s) that you wish to edit.
The LCD screen will differ depending on the “Edit-
Type.” The screen shown in step 2 is when “Edit-
Type” is set to “CopyTrack.”
For “CopyTrack,” use “SourceTrack” to specify the
copy source track, “DestTrack” to specify the copy
destination track, and “Times” to specify the number
of copies.
You can use “Wave” to view the waveform as
you specify the editing region.
5. Execute the selected track editing command.
Press the “Exec.” button to execute the selected track
editing command.
In the example shown in step 4, the data in the IN–

ing at the TO location of track 2.
