Soft Buttons on the TRACK Page
FromTo is a quick way to define the region of time you intend to edit. There are a couple of ways
to use this feature when the sequence is playing back in real time, and both ways will set the
boundaries of the region.
One way is to first position the cursor over the From parameter in the Region/Criteria box and
then press the Play soft button. During playback, every time you press FromTo, the Forte SE
updates the value of From to match the current playback location. Position the cursor over the To
parameter to change the value of To in a similar fashion.
If you haven't selected either the From or To parameter, pressing FromTo during playback
updates From or To—or both—depending on the current playback location (the value of the
Locate parameter) at the time you press FromTo. If you press it while the Locate value is earlier in
the song than the current To value, the Forte SE updates the From value. If you press FromTo
again (without stopping playback) while the Locate value is later than the current From value,
the Forte SE updates the To value.
Play will start the playback of the song from the Bar and Beat set in the Locate parameter. When
the song is playing, this soft button functions as a Pause button.
Stop stops the playback of the song and return to the Bar and Beat set as the Locate value.
Go performs any of the Track-based edit functions described above.
Done will return you to the EDIT:Song Common page.

Erase
This function erases specified events from a region of time, but it doesn't delete the region of
time. The result is like erasing a section of recording tape. If you want to completely remove a
segment and shorten the length of the track, you can do it with the Delete function.
Copy
Use the Copy function to duplicate the selected events from the current track and place them in
the same track or on another track, either merging with or overwriting existing data.
