Editing a recorded performance (Track Edit)
Section 1
COPY + INS (insert)
fig.15-07d
The Track Copy screen will appear, allowing you to
select the tracks and V-Tracks to be used as the copy
source and destination.
If you select COPY + INS, an empty space of the required
length will first of all be inserted at the copy destination,
and then the source audio will be copied.
Example 4: Copying audio data with COPY + INS
fig.15-08
If you are using COPY + INS, it will not be possible to specify
the same track as the source and destination of copying.
4.
Use [CURSOR] and the TIME/VALUE dial to choose
the tracks and V-Tracks to be used as the copy source
and destination.
If a name has been assigned to the selected track, it will
be displayed at this time.
fig.15-09d
5.
If you want to copy audio on other tracks using the same
settings (for range, position, etc.), move the cursor to the
position shown below and turn the TIME/VALUE dial.
fig.15-20d
You will now be able to specify other tracks as the source
and destination of other copy operations.
In this case, it is not possible to specify a copy destination
track that coincides with another copy source track.
If you want to cancel the copy for a specific track, turn the
TIME/VALUE dial counterclockwise until a question
mark (?) is displayed. Copying will not be performed for
any line containing one or more question marks.
As Tracks 9/10 through 15/16 are stereo tracks, it will
not be possible to select either of their mono tracks
independent of the other.
6.
Move the cursor to the right half of the screen and
specify the copy range and copy destination positions.
fig.15-21d
Pressing [F1] (DISP.FMT.) at this time will allow you to
select how positions will be specified (i.e., by measure,
time, or marker).
The following parameters should now be set.
START (Start point):
This parameter is used to specify the start point of the
audio data to be copied.
END (End point):
This parameter is used to specify the end point of the
audio data to be copied.
TO (To point):
This parameter is used to specify the basic destination point.
TIMES (copy time):
This parameter is used to specify the number of copies to
be made (between 1 and 99).
FROM (From point):
This parameter is used to specify the point within the
source audio data to be aligned with the To point.
Normally, this is set to the same value as the Start point.
• If time values are used to specify the above points and you then
switch the specification method to measures or markers, a plus
(+) character may be displayed to warn that the indicated
positions and actual positions are not the same. If you want to
specify points using measures or markers, this discrepancy can
be eliminated by using the TIME/VALUE dial to make settings
in each of the relevant screens.
• If you want to set the copy range as extending from the
start to the end of the song, press [F3] (SELECT ALL).
7.
When you have made all of the necessary settings,
press [F4] (GO).
The audio data will now be copied, and when the
message “Complete!” appears, it indicates that this
operation has been completed.
8.
Press [EXIT/NO] several times to return to the top screen.
