Editing Part of a Song (Track Edit) Editing Part of a Song (Track Edit)
Track Edit Overview
The track editing operations let you specify a part (an
arbitrary section of an arbitrary track) and copy it over
another part, move it to another position, or remove
the sound from it. You can also switch the positions of
two parts.
Additionally, you can edit between different songs as
well as within the same song.
The track editing functions consist of the following:
• Track Copy (duplicating a part) n page 33
• Track Move (moving a part) n page 34
• Track Exchange (switching the positions of 2 parts)
n page 35
• Track Erase (erasing a part) n page 36
Using the Undo Function with track
editing operations
You can undo an edit immediately after execution if
the undo indicator is lit green.
To carry out the undo function, press UNDO.
Pressing undo again lets you redo the undone edit
operation (redo function).
Note
Carrying out another edit operation, starting a recording,
or removing the disc after carrying out the undo or redo
functions will make it impossible to undo the previous
edit operation.
Notes about the color of the indicator on the UNDO
key.
The color which the indicator on the UNDO key
lights shows the current status. (Sometimes the
indicator is off).
GREEN : undo is possible. (Redo has been carried
out.)
RED : undo has been carried out
(blinking) : in the process of carrying out the undo
(or redo) function.
(off) : undo is not possible. (In cases where the
previous operation cannot be undone (etc.).)
Specifying the Locate Points
Before editing, it is necessary to specify the locate
points (edit points). There are the following eleven
types of locate points:
• IN (edit start) point
Represents the beginning of the part to be edited.
• OUT (edit end) point
Represents the end of the part to be edited.
• DEST (edit destination) point
Represents the place where the part will be copied to
during the copy operation (etc.).
• A~H points
Additional arbitrary locate points (not used for
editing operations).
Setting edit points by specifying the time/
bar
Use the following procedure when you know the
time/bar of the locate points for the desired part.
