Duplicating a song
Here’s how to copy (duplicate) a song that is saved on
the internal hard disk. This is convenient when you
want to keep a duplicate of the original state of a song
before performing various edits on the audio tracks.
When you execute the Song Copy operation, the cur-
rent song will be saved automatically.
1
Press the [SONG] key
→
[F3] key.
The SONG screen/Song Edit page will appear, in
which you can perform operations on entire
songs, such as copying or deleting a song.
The upper part of the display shows a list of the
songs currently saved on the internal hard disk.
The highlighted row in the list indicates the cur-
rent song. An “E” symbol will be displayed in the
EDIT column for the song that is currently
selected for operations. The other columns of the
list display the following information.
• SONG NAME .... Song name (the first twelve
characters)
• SAVED AT.......... The date and time at which
the song was last saved
• SIZE................... The size of the song
• BIT/FS ............... The number of bits and sam-
pling frequency of the song
• PRT ................... Protect on/off status

part of the display.

Use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the song
that you want to copy, and press the
[ENTER] key to assign an “E” symbol at the
left side of the list.
Each time you press the [ENTER] key, the “E”
symbol will appear or disappear.
Tip!
Multiple songs including the current song can be
selected for copying.
4
Move the cursor to the COPY button and
press the [ENTER] key.
A popup window will ask you to confirm the
copy operation.
5
To execute the copy, move the cursor to
the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.
The current song will automatically be saved,
and then the copy operation will be executed. To
cancel the copy, move the cursor to the CANCEL
button and press the [ENTER] key.
When the current song is copied, two songs with
identical song name, date, and size will exist. So that
you do not confuse the original with the copy, we rec-
ommend that you edit the song name or comment.
(For details on editing the song name, refer to
page 150.)
