Insert
Insert will copy the material selected by the REGION IN/OUT points to any point in your song. Any
material after the destination point will be pushed back in time to the point after the copied
material.
Use the following procedure to insert the first two measures of track A at measure three:
1. Hold SHIFT and press STATUS B, C, and D so they are dark. This indicates that any editing
will only be performed on track A.
2. Press METRONOME ( ) to return to the top of the song.
3. Press REGION IN/OUT once.
4. Press NEXT (MEAS ) twice or rotate the VALUE/TIME dial to select measure three and press
REGION IN/OUT again.
5. Hold SHIFT and press the DOWN CURSOR (INSERT) button. The material in bars one and
two is now repeated at bars three and four. The material that was in bar three will now start
at bar five.
6. Press METRONOME ( ) to return to the top of the song and press PLAY ( ) to hear the
results.
7. If you do not like your edit, press UNDO/REDO once. Then, repeat steps 2-6 until you are

Paste
The paste function is similar to the insert function in that it copies material selected by the REGION
IN/OUT points to another point in your song. The difference is that paste does not shift audio after
the destination point back in time. If there is audio at the destination point, it will be replaced by
the copied material.

will only be performed on track A.
