Copy Song; Erase Fwd And Erase Bwd Buttons; Erase Song; Memory Remaining - Alesis X2 Reference Manual

Description of Controls
COPY
The COPY button makes it possible to copy the mute events recorded for one
channel and have them affect any number of other channels. Example: If you had
four channels of vocals that you wanted to mute simultaneously, you could record
the mute events for one of the channels and then copy those events to the remaining
channels (another way of doing this is to create a Mute Group for those channels
and record the Mute Group events to do the same thing).
The Copy function works by pressing COPY, then selecting the source channel (the
one to be copied), and then selecting the destination channel(s). The source channel's
MUTE button will be flashing quickly, while the destination channels MUTE buttons
will be flashing in half-time. To execute the copy, press UPDATE.

Copy Song

Holding the ALT (ALL) button down and pressing COPY accesses the Copy Song
function, which allows you to copy the currently selected Song to another location
in memory (00—99).

ERASE FWD and ERASE BWD Buttons

The ERASE FWD and ERASE BWD buttons are used for editing Songs after
recording mute events. Each of the ERASE buttons can be used on one or more
channels. Both also require that you locate you tape machine (the one providing a
sync source to the X2 Mute Automation) to the position that you wish to erase from
(the ONLINE button must be turned on so the X2 can locate to the sync source's
position).
The ERASE FWD button lets you erase from that point until the end of the Song,
while the ERASE BWD button erases mute events from the beginning of the song to
the current position.
To erase events on one or more channels, first press either ERASE FWD or ERASE
BWD. The button's LED will begin flashing. Now you can press any MUTE button
on the console to select the channels you want to erase. To execute the erasure, press
the UPDATE button. These functions are not reversible.

ERASE SONG

Holding the ALT (ALL) button down and pressing UNDO selects the Erase Song
function, which deletes all data in a single Song including all mute events and the 4
Mute Groups. This function is not reversible.

Memory Remaining

To check the remaining amount of internal memory, hold ALT (ALL) and press
DEFINE. The display will momentarily read a number from 00—99, which
represents the percentage of available memory. This is the amount of total memory
for recording mute events into the Songs.
