Recorder Functions (VF80EX)

Track Exchange

The track exchange function allows you to exchange
tracks (regardless of whether they are real or addi-
tional tracks) on the program in single track unit, 2-
track unit or 8-track unit.
By using this function, you can exchange tracks not
only among real tracks but also between real and
additional tracks, allowing to use tracks effectively.
For example, by exchanging a recorded real track with
an empty additional track, you can transfer data on
a real track to an additional track temporarily, so that
you can record a new material onto the real track.
The track exchange function is also used to check the
REC END point on an additional track.

play returns to the Normal screen.
<Note for Track Exchange>
If the selected tracks for the left and right fields are re-
versed, the same track exchange is performed.
For example, " 1-8<->17-24 " and " 17-24<->1-8 " perform the
same track exchange.
The setting in which the same track(s) are selected for
both the left and right fields, such as " 1-8<->1-8 ", is invalid.
If you press the [ENTER/YES] key with such a setting, the
display shows the message " Select Err! Hit Any Keys ".
