■ Creating a new song from a Cue List (Cue List Copy)
The playback order that you have programmed in a cue list can be rewritten into a new song.
As shown in the following diagram, this can be used to remake a song into a new version
whose length and arrangement differ from the original song.
1. As described in steps 1–5 of “Programming a Cue List” on page 68, program
the desired cue list.
2. Press the ENTER button.
The display will ask “List PLAY?”
3. Rotate the DATA dial to make the display read “List COPY?”
4. Press the ENTER button to execute the Cue List Copy operation.
The display will briefly indicate “CopyTo X” (X is the copy destination song number), and
then a new song will be created. By pressing the STOP button while “CopyTo X” is displayed,
you can cancel the Cue List Copy operation.
When the cue list copy has been completed, the TOC will be updated automatically and the
MD4S will stop at the beginning of the new song.
Note: In rare circumstances, playback may skip between steps of Cue List playback.
Note: Cue List program contents are remembered even when the MD4S is turned off.
