OPEN

This function “opens up” a silent gap between the IN
and OUT points on the chosen track or tracks.

The source and destination are the same, and after the
operation, the track is split at the IN point, with the

material which followed the IN point now moved to
follow the OUT point. The result is therefore longer
than the original.

There is only one value that you can change:

Src. Trk

Select an individual track (

1

through

8

), a pair of tracks (

1/2

,

3/4

,

5/6

,

7/8

), all of the eight active tracks (

1-8

) or all

tracks, including the virtual tracks (

all

).

Press

YES

to perform the operation or

NO

to leave

this screen.

CUT

This function deletes the material between the IN and
OUT points on the chosen track or tracks and “closes
up” the gap.

The source and destination are the same, and after the
operation, the material which followed the OUT

point now moved to follow the IN point. Material
which was between the IN and OUT points is
deleted. The result is therefore shorter than the
original.

There is only one value that you can change:

Src. Trk

Select an individual track (

1

through

8

), a pair of tracks (

1/2

,

3/4

,

5/6

,

7/8

), all of the eight active tracks (

1-8

) or all

tracks, including the virtual tracks (

all

).

Press

YES

to perform the operation or

NO

to leave

this screen.

SILENCE

This function is equivalent to recording silence
between the IN and OUT points on the chosen track
or tracks.

No material is added or deleted, and the length of the
result is therefore the same as that of the original.

There is only one value that you can change:

Src. Trk

Select an individual track (

1

through

8

), a pair of tracks (

1/2

,

3/4

,

5/6

,

7/8

), or all of the eight active tracks (

1-8

).

Press

YES

to perform the operation or

NO

to leave

this screen.

TIP

You can also use the SHIFT + DELETE key combination
to enter this function easily.
