Editing Entire Songs (Song Edit) Editing Entire Songs (Song Edit)
Song Edit Overview
The following sections show you how to divide a
completed song and connect 2 adjacent songs (etc.) so
you can easily locate the positions you desire on the
recorded disc.
The following is a list of song editing functions :
• Song Copy (copying a song) n page 43
• Song Move (moving a song ) n page 44
• Song Exchange (switching the positions of 2 songs)
n page 45
• Song Divide (dividing 1 song into 2 different songs)
n page 46
• Song Combine (combining 2 songs) n page 47
• Song Delete (deleting a song) n page 48
• Song Name (naming a song) n page 49
• Song Tempo (creating a tempo map) n page 53
Note
Song editing is only complete once the TOC data has been
updated. You can update the TOC data by pressing STOP
during stop mode. The TOC data is also updated
automatically when the disc is ejected. Therefore, always
eject the disc before turning off the power. Not only is
there a danger of loosing the song being edited, there is
also a possibility of loosing the contents of the entire disc.
Using the Undo Function with section
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. (Or 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.).)
Copying a Song (Song Copy)
This function lets you duplicate a song. Newly created
copy is treated as a new recording and becomes the last
song on the disc. This is a convenient way to backup
songs before editing.
