4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
The FD-4 starts erasing the data and [Erase ....] flashes.
When the erase operation is completed, [COMPLETED !]
lights up.
5. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key.
The FD-4 exits edit mode and displays the previous Time
Base indication.
To erase the data in its entirety from the tracks, you can also use
the Program Delete function to erase the entire Program.
In either case, you can expand the recordable area on the disk.
Use either one of the erase operations to erase unnecessary
data if the FD-4 displays an alarm message indicating insufficient
recordable space for Auto Punch In/Out, Copy & Paste, or Move
& Paste.
Refer to “Deleting a Program” on page 38 for more information
on the Program Delete function.
Undo/Redo Erase
You can undo or redo the Erase operation.
To restore the data that existed before you erased it, press the
UNDO/REDO key.
To restore the data after you undo the Erase operation, press the
UNDO/REDO key again.
When you press the UNDO/REDO key, the FD-4 will undo or redo the
operation immediately, and display [Undo!] or [Redo !] and [COM-
PLETED !].
<Note>
The Undo/Redo function is effective only when the FD-4 is stopped.
<Note>
If you perform one of the following operations after you use the
Copy & Paste or Move and Paste operation, the Undo/Redo func-
tion will no longer be effective.
1. When a new recording is made.
2. When a new editing is executed (such as Copy & Paste, Move &
Paste, Erase).
3. While in the AUTO PUNCH ON mode, when the AUTO PUNCH
IN point is passed in the PLAY (or RECORD) mode.
4. When the power is momentarily switched off.
5. When the program is changed.
6. When the disk is ejected.
Track Exchange
The Track Exchange function enables you to swap mono
track data or multiple track data of the current Program.
You can swap mono track data between Real tracks and
Additional tracks. You can swap multiple track data between
two Real tracks (1–2, or 3–4) and Additional tracks (L and
R).
Refer to the diagrams below for information on how data
on the tracks can be moved using this function.
The Track Exchange function also enables you to move Real
track data to an empty Additional track (to empty the origi-
nal Real track) so that you can use the Real track for a new
recording. This application adds flexibility to the usage of
tracks. You can move data on the Additional track back to
the Real track to audition the data, since data in an Addi-
tional track cannot be played in real-time.
You can also use this function when you wish to check the
REC END point of the Additional track, as described in the
“Erase” section.
