Checking the clipboard data

clipboard is a copied data or moved data ([Copy Clip] or

playback). The sound being played back can be heard if
the MON knob of the channel corresponding to the copied
(or moved) track, is rotated toward "TRK," and the
monitor section MASTER knob is raised.
During playback, the RECORD TRACK LED of the copied
(or moved) track will blink.
* Press the EDIT key again to get ready for the paste
operation. [Copy Paste] or [Move Paste] flashes on the
