Data is saved in its edited form when you return to the Play
screen from the Track Edit screen.
* During automatic updating, "Keep power on!" appears in the
upper line of the display, while the lower line shows what is
being processed.
To copy, move, or erase repeated portions, you first need to
set the portion to be repeated, using the procedure described
on p. 49.

Copying data (Track Copy)

Track Copy allows you to copy a specific part of data and
then place it in a different location.
You can perform editing operations such as copying the data
on a track all at once, or copying the data from a specified
part as many times as you wish.
If, for example, you want to use a phrase from a certain track,
or have the same phrase repeated again and again, the copy
function will help save you time.
* If data exists at the position being copied to, that data will be
overwritten.
* The portion being copied must be longer than 1.0 seconds long.
If the copied portion is 1.0 seconds or less, no sound will be
heard even if the copy is carried out.
The three types of Track Copy are given below.
