Viewing A Stack — While It Plays

Press VIEW LIST button and rotate select to see stack items remaining to be played. The number
at the upper left shows how far away the top line selection is from the item currently playing.

(Note: This only works for Linear Stacks. In order to view the next cut in line for a Rotary stack, go
into the Edit menu, then play the stack. Once the first cut has finished, the name of the next cut will
appear on the top line of the display.)

Copying A Stack

Stacks may be copied to any other stack index number (five-character ID) in any Stack Directory.
Details about copying a stack may be found in CHAPTER THREE, Utility Menu Operations
section.

Converting A Linear Stack To A Cut

You may store a stack as a cut. This can be useful to allow a stack to be consolidated onto a Zip
Disk for transfer to another a system. Use the POSITION buttons and select to designate an ID.
There are limits to the kind of stack that may become a cut:

The stack must be Linear with no embedded stacks.

All cuts in a stack to be copied must be of the same Sample Rate and Format.

The new cut will occupy disk space equal to the source cuts.

When converting a stack to a cut, an unoccupied index location must be used.

COPY EDITED trims each cut in the stack according to its HEAD and TAIL

settings. The resulting cut has the Fade-in and Gain setting of the first cut of the
stack and the Fade-out of the last cut in the stack. (Copy Original will also perform
a stack to cut conversion. However it will copy the cuts in their entirety, ignoring
Head and Tail Trim Edits.)

To convert a Linear Stack to a cut:

1. Use the SELECT control and Left/Right POSITION buttons to choose the stack.

2. Press the UTILITY MENU button.

3. Select COPY EDITED.

4. Press the ENTER button. The display will show:

X.SXXX(L/R) STACK

SELECT

5. Use select and POSITION buttons to choose a destination drive and a directory

from 0 TO 9.
