Abandoning Edit Operations
Occasionally the user will no sooner have pressed some edit key than he will realize this
was a mistake. Certain edit operations can be abandoned: C UT , C OPY , I NSERT and E RASE .
When one of these keys is pressed, and before it is released, simultaneously press E XIT or
S TOP . This is equivalent to the edit key never having been pressed in the first place; it works
because these keys act when released, not when depressed.
If any of these four edit keys has already been released, pressing E XIT or S TOP will have
no effect. In this case, use the U NDO key.
Bleep File Segment
Offensive words within a recording may be censored (bleeped out) by overwriting with a
Bleep tone or silence.
To Bleep a File in Edit Mode
• Use the E DIT I N and E DIT O UT keys to highlight the offending segment.
• Hold I NSERT and press B LEEP . The Bleep tone (or silence) will be inserted in place
of the highlighted audio.
A Bleep tone is always non-destructive and may be Undone at any time.
To Set the Bleep Output Level
The level of the Bleep signal can be set to 0 DB, -6 DB, -12 DB, -24 DB or SILENT.
This is a Directory Preference setting, so each Directory can have it’s own value.
• You must be in the Files Display of, or Editing a file within the desired Directory.
• Press M ENU
• Select item 5 DIRECTORY PREFS and press E NTER
or
Press the 5
K EY .
• Select item 6 BLEEP LEVEL and press E NTER
or
Press the 6
K EY .
• Select the desired value using the A
RROW K EYS or THE S CRUB W HEEL .
• Press E NTER to confirm the choice.
• Press S TOP to return to the Files Display or the Editor.
The Bleep Level is not recorded in files, it is a setting that is used when the Bleep is
produced. Therefore the level of all existing occurrences of Bleep in files in the current
Directory will change to the new setting.
To Bleep a File in the Play or Record Mode
• Hold down the B LEEP key for the desired duration.
When this is done in Record mode, the Bleep is non-destructively recorded into the file.
In Play, the Bleep sounds while it is pressed but does not change the file.
A 1,000 Hz tone or silence can be selected in the D IRECTORY P REFS menu. Further
information on Bleep is presented in the Miscellaneous Operations chapter.
