continue to flash.
Now the sound data to be pasted has been copied (or

operation.
Checking the clipboard data
* Hold down the STOP button and press the PLAY button.
The FD-4 indicates whether the sound data on the
clipboard is a copied data or moved data ([Copy Clip] or
[Move Clip]) and plays the data (this is called clipboard
playback). To listen to the clipboard playback, rotate the
channel 1 MON knob toward [TRK] and raise the
MASTER knob in the monitor section.
* Press the EDIT key again to get ready for the paste operation.
[Copy Paste] or [Move Paste] flashes on the display.
Executing Paste

The display indication enables you to set the number of
the paste operations. The number and [SURE ?] flash.
At this time, the flashing RECORD TRACK select key LED
becomes continuously lit.
5. Select a destination track to paste data.
All selected tracks’ LEDs light up.
You can select only mono tracks as the destination of a
copied or moved mono track. If you copied or moved
adjacent odd-even tracks, you can select only adjacent
odd-even tracks as the destination.
If you do not select any tracks, the data will be pasted
back to the copy or move source track.
6. Turn the JOG dial to enter the number of repeats (Repeat=**).
You can enter up to 99. However, this is automatically
limited by the available recording space on the disk.
That is, if the disk has enough free space, you can set up
to 99 repeats. If the disk has only a small amount of free
space, the JOG dial allows you to set a lower number of
repeats.
