Combining Tracks
This function allows you to combine any two
tracks into a single track. The two tracks need not
to be consecutive nor chronological. You can
combine several tracks into a single medley, or
several independently recorded portions into a
single track. When you combine two tracks, the
total number of tracks decreases by one and all
tracks following the combined track are
renumbered.
Example: Combining the second
track and the fourth track
AAA BBB
BBB
DDD
CCC
1 2 3
AAA BBB DDDCCC
1 2 43

If both of the combined tracks have a track name,
the name of the second track is erased.

You can undo the combination
For details, see “Undoing the Last Edit” on page 38.
Notes
If “Impossible” appears in the display, the tracks
can’t be combined because repeated editing has
been done to the track(s). This is a technical
limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical
error.
You cannot combine tracks which were recorded in
different recording modes.
