Delete Track “DelTrack” — deleting a track
This operation deletes (removes) the specified region (In–
Out) of a recorded track. When data is deleted, the data fol-
lowing the deleted region (i.e., the data following the Out
location) will be moved toward the beginning of the song.
Here’s how to delete the In–Out region of track 1.
1 Store the In and Out time locations in the [IN
(LOC1)] key and [OUT (LOC2)] key.
2 Select “TRK EDIT” mode.
Set the [MODE] knob to “TRK EDIT.”
3 Select the Delete operation.
Use the [VALUE] dial to select “DelTrack,” and press
the CURSOR [ ] key.
4 Select “DeleteTo” (track number from which you
want to delete data).
Use the [VALUE] dial to select the number of the track
from which you want to delete data. For this example,
select “1.” Then press the CURSOR [ ] key.
5 Specify the InTime (“In” time location) and Out-
Time.
Use the [VALUE] dial to make your selections (see
“Copy Track”). Then press the CURSOR [ ] key. To
use the time locations you specified in Step 1, select
“LOC 1 (IN)” as the “In” time and “LOC 2 (OUT)” as
the “Out” time.
You can press the [IN (LOC1)] or [OUT (LOC2)] key at this
point to modify the selected time. You can also press the
[PLAY] key to audition the playback for approximately two
seconds starting at the selected time. Modifying the time
here will not affect the time that is registered in the key.
6 Execute the operation.
When the display asks “Del OK?,” press the CURSOR
[] key to execute the operation. When the data has
been deleted, the display will indicate “Finish!”
7 Press the [PLAY] key to listen to the play back, and
verify that the operation occurred as you intended.
You can press the [UNDO] key to return to the state prior to
executing this operation. (→p.26)
Expansion/Compression — expanding/compressing a
track
This operation expands or compresses the specified region
(In–Out) of recorded track data, and places it in a specified
location (To–End). Expansion will increase the playback time
required for this region. Compression will decrease (make
shorter) the playback time of this region. The data that fol-
lows the expanded/compressed data (i.e., the data following
the End point) will be shifted in relation to the entire song.
You can select whether or not the pitch will be converted.
As an example, here’s how the In–Out region of track 1 can
be converted (without changing the pitch) to the length of
the To–End region of track 2, and copied there three times.
