convenient for example to exchange the data on two V-takes or
delete a V-take that is no longer needed. The procedure is
explained in this section.
When editing audio data in V-take units, some steps are similar
for each action. These are as follows.

PARAMETER] key in the control section.
Various track parameters can now be selected.
2. Use the cursor up/down keys to bring up the
indication “Trackxx-yy” (where xx is the track
number and yy the V-take number) on the first
line of the display.
Now you can select the V-take.
3. Use the cursor left/right keys or the status
keys to select the target track, and use the
dial to select the V-take number.
The status key for the currently selected track is lit in orange.
It is also possible to select the master track. In this case, the
track number indication shows “Master”.
