Copy and paste
In one screen, you can select a portion of a track,
defining the start and end points of the portion, and
copy and paste (insert) this portion to another point
in the track.
NOTE
You cannot copy material between tracks, only within a
track.
You can make multiple copies of the audio, which
may be useful if you have a repeating section, for
example. This can be useful if you want to repeat an
identical phrase at different points throughout a song.
Before performing a copy operation, mark the start of
the section to be copied with the IN point. See “Set-
ting the IN and OUT points” on page 31 for further
details of these points. If these are not set, or in the
wrong order, an error appears.
Mark the end of the section to be copied with the
OUT point.
Set a mark at the position where you want the mark
to be copied. See “Setting a mark” on page 29 for
details of how to do this.
TIP
If you are playing along to a pattern played by the
internal tone generator, you may want to set the timing
reference to bars and beats, rather than seconds, so
that you can align the audio with the MIDI backing.
To enter this function, from the main menu, enter the
CARD
menu and scroll to
SONG EDIT
. Press
ENTER
.
Scroll to
EDIT COPY
and press
ENTER
.
Now set the track where the copy will take place.
The
Start
and
End
times are fixed as the IN and
OUT points. Move down to the next screen and set
more parameters:
The
To
point can be set to any of the marks that have
been previously set.
Finally, set the number of times that the section
should be repeated when it is copied (up to 99 times).
When you have set the destination point and the
number of times for copying, press the
ENTER
key to
copy the selected area to the
End
point.
TIP
To copy the same guitar hook to different chorus sec-
tions of the song (for example), keep the
Start
and
End
points the same, and simply change the
To
value.
