Undoing an operation
This unit allows you to undo an operation or recording
that did not work as planned or was otherwise
unsatisfactory. Undo can be used on many ordinary
operations, including editing and recording operations.
This unit has two types of undo functions. Single undo
can be used with a simple button press, while multi-undo
allows you to return to a specific past operation and undo
the operations that occurred after it.

Cancelling an undo operation (redo)
Press the UNDO/REDO [HISTORY] buttons when its
indicator is lit to return to the state of the last operation.
The UNDO/REDO indicator becomes unlit.
NOTE
If single undo is used when multi-undo (described below)
has already been used to return the unit to a previous
state, it will go one more step backward.
If you press the UNDO/REDO [HISTORY] button again
to redo, the single undo operation is cancelled, and the
previous multi-undo state is restored. In this case, the
operations undone by multi-undo are still retained in
history, so the UNDO/REDO indicator stays lit.
Undoing a previous operation (multi-
undo)
1 Press and hold the UNDO/REDO [HISTORY] button
to open the
HISTORY
screen.
This screen shows the operation history as a list. Each
operation in the list is called an “event.”
The event list starts at the bottom with event number
0
” (
-START UP-
) and proceeds up to the most
recent event at the top, which has a
*
next to it.
All events in this list that occurred after a selected
event can be undone at once. This operation is called
“multi-undo” because it allows you to undo multiple
events and return to an earlier state.
2 Use the DATA wheel to select the event that you
want to return to (all events after the selected
event will be undone).
3 Press the F2 (
