Cut, Copy & Paste let you cut out, or make a copy of a segment of a
sample and then paste it back in the same sample or in another sample.
Imagine a printout of a sample. Now imagine that you have a pair of
scissors capable of cutting a piece out of that sample (or a copy of that
piece if you don’t want to affect the original), as well as a clipboard to
neatly hold the cut or copied piece. Now imagine that you can either
perfectly insert the clipboard contents at any given point in any sample,
or mix the clipboard contents in with any sample, starting at any desig-
nated point. The ESI can do all this, and all electronically. The ESI also
provides Auto Correlation and optional Crossfade functions that result
in seamless transitions between the cut, copied, and pasted parts.

Clipboard Data: The clipboard will retain data until replaced by other data to be copied, cut, or
backed up. This occurs with several ESI operations where you want to be able to undo an action that
doesn’t work out as anticipated. Since clipboard data stays intact when you call up another sample,
data can be cut or copied from one sample and pasted to another.
Undo and Redo
During several ESI digital processing operations, such as cut, paste, and
sample rate conversion, the ESI automatically backs up the sample being
processed and stores this backup in the digital clipboard on the system
drive. If you do not like the results of the processing, you can call up the
Undo function, and restore the original sample. (Ah, if only life itself
were so simple.) Best of all, the processed sample now moves onto the
system drive. If you decide you like the processed version better after all,
you can actually undo the Undo (Redo).
Insufficient System Drive Memory
If the system runs out of hard disk storage space the display informs you
that there is not enough memory to back up a sample. You then have
two choices: either free up some additional memory by erasing banks on
the system drive, or call up the Undo function (Digital Processing, 9.
Undo) and disable the backup process. Of course, if backup is disabled,
you cannot undo an operation.
