The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. "WARNING" "TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. " SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated. [. . . ] You can paste it as many times as you wish. CLIPBOARD IN point CLIPBOARD OUT point · Move & Paste Move & Paste is almost the same as Copy & Paste. As shown in the figure, it allows you to move a specific range of data from a specific track to the clipboard (this is called [Move Clip] on the FD-8), and paste it to a destination track. The difference from Copy & Paste is that the data on the source track and the clipboard will be erased when you paste the data to the destination. That is, you cannot paste the moved data repeatedly. CLIPBOARD IN point CLIPBOARD OUT point Copy source track Copy Clip Move source track Move Clip AUTO PUNCH IN point AUTO PUNCH IN point Paste Paste destination track Paste Paste destination track As shown in the drawing, points for copy or move are called the CLIPBOARD IN point for the copy (or move) starting point, and CLIPBOARD OUT point for the ending point, and the paste starting point is called the AUTO PUNCH IN point. 56 Editing Tracks Follow the steps below to perform the Copy & Paste or Move & Paste operation. Store the copy (or move) start point (CLIPBOARD IN point), end point (CLIPBOARD OUT point), and the paste start point (AUTO PUNCH IN point). Note: If you select non-adjacent tracks, such as tracks 1 and 3, or tracks 1, 2, and 4, the copied (or moved) data will be pasted back to the copy (or move) source tracks. 2. Press the EDIT key repeatedly until [Copy Clip (or [Move Clip]) flashes on the display. Select [Copy Clip] to execute Copy & Paste. Select [Move Clip] to execute Move & Paste. Check the stored edit points using the Preview function and make adjustments if necessary. Specify the copy (or move) source track, and copy (or move) the data to the clipboard. SYNC OUT DRIVE SYNC OUT DRIVE CLK AUTO SCSI A. PUNCH CLK AUTO SCSI A. PUNCH 3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key. Specify the destination track and the number of times for the paste operation (repeated paste), and execute the paste operation. The display briefly indicates [COMPLETED !], then flashes the [Copy Paste] message (or the [Move Paste] message). The LEDs of the selected RECORD TRACK select keys continue to flash. Storing the edit points 1. Refer to the "Storing and editing the locate points to the memory keys" section for information on storing the copy (or move) start and end points, and the paste start point. Store the copy (or move) start point to the CLIPBOARD IN key, the end point to the CLIPBOARD OUT key, and store the paste start point to the AUTO PUNCH IN key. · See "Storing and editing the locate points to the memory keys" on page 66. SYNC OUT DRIVE SYNC OUT DRIVE CLK AUTO SCSI A. PUNCH CLK AUTO SCSI A. PUNCH This is indicated after copy/clip. This is indicated after move/clip. Note: Pressing the EXECUTE/YES key without selecting a track in Step 1 will cause the display to indicate an alarm message [Select TRK !]. Select a track, then press the EXECUTE/YES key. Checking and adjusting the edit points After you store the edit points, you can check them on the display by pressing the corresponding keys. This section explains how to preview and fine-tune the edit points using the Preview function. Now the sound data to be pasted has been copied (or moved) to the clipboard, you can check the data on the clipboard by following the steps below. If there is no problem with the data, you can proceed to the paste operation. 1. While the recorder section is stopped, press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the memory key for which you wish to check the edit point. You can preview "fade in" at the CLIPBOARD IN point, "fade out" at the CLIPBOARD OUT point, and "fade out" at AUTO PUNCH IN point. Checking the clipboard data * Hold down the STOP button and press the PLAY button. The FD-8 indicates whether the sound data on the clipboard is a copied data or moved data ([Copy Clip] or [Move Clip]) and plays the data (this is called clipboard playback). The sound being played back can be heard if the MON knob of the channel corresponding to the copied (or moved) track, is rotated toward "TRK, " and the monitor section MASTER knob is raised. During playback, the RECORD TRACK LED of the copied (or moved) track will blink. 2. Trim the edit point while previewing. · Refer to "Preview Function" on page 74 for more information. Executing Copy (or Move) 1. Press the RECORD TRACK select key of the copy (or move) source track to set it READY. Select from mono tracks or adjacent odd-even tracks (12, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8). [Copy Paste] or [Move Paste] flashes on the display. 57 Editing Tracks Executing Paste 4.
