Inserting A Blank Space Into The Track Data (Insert Track); Erasing Data From A Track (Erase Track) - Korg D8 Owner's Manual

3. Inserting a blank space
into the track data
(Insert Track)
This operation inserts a blank space into the speci-
fied area (IN–OUT) of a recorded track. When the
blank is inserted, the original data will be moved
toward the end of the song to make room for the
blank. A blank can be inserted into a single track,
or into multiple tracks at once. If you wish to add
phrases to the middle of previously recorded data,
use this operation to insert a blank space of the
appropriate length, and then record onto that area.
