3E EDITING SONGS (STEPPING, INSERTING, DELETING)
1. Stepping: To change a song step, locate the step with the Right Arrow and
Left Arrow buttons. Pressing Right Arrow increases the step number, Left
Arrow decreases the step number. Tap either key once to move one step at a
time, or hold either key down for a “fast forward” or “fast backward” effect.
When you reach the step you want to change, simply key in the new
information.
2. Inserting: Inserting creates an additional step (or steps) in an existing song.
Consider a situation where you want to insert another segment in a song right
after step 11. First, press Right Arrow or Left Arrow until you reach step 5 (the
step which is right after step 14). Press INSERT. Two things happen: This
step becomes available for entering a song step, and all subsequent steps
are automatically renumbered to reflect the addition of the inserted step (for
example, what used to be step 5 now becomes step 6, step 6 becomes step
7, step 7 becomes step 8, etc.).You may now key in the instruction for the
new step 5 (in this case, it would be a segment number). After entering the
instruction, press ENTER to enter the instruction into the SP- 12’s memory,
unless you want to add more steps. In that case, press INSERT again to add
another insert, and continue as described above.
3. Deleting: Move to the step you want to delete (let’s choose step 8 as an
example) by using the Right Arrow and Left Arrow keys. When step 8 appears
in the left-hand readout, press DELETE. The current step 8 is deleted, and all
subsequent steps are automatically renumbered to reflect the deletion of this
step (step 9 becomes the new step 8, what used to be step 10 becomes step
9, and so on). To delete more steps, continue pressing DELETE.
