Overlap
When this is set to "Off," the starting and ending
points of the phrase can be thought of as being identi-
cal to the "START" and "END" points in Track Copy.
In this case, when two or more copies of a phrase are
made, the second and any subsequent copies are con-
nected to the preceding one.
Set this to "On" preserves the length of the interval
between "FROM" and "TO." Thus, when copying a
phrase that is shorter than the interval between
"FROM" and "TO" two or more times, starting with
the second copy, a blank space is inserted after each
copy of the phrase. Conversely, when the phrase is
longer than the interval between "FROM" and "TO,"
the end of the phrase overlaps the following copy of
the phrase.

Example 1: When the phrase is longer than the interval
between "FROM" and "TO"
A
FROM TO
Copy Times = "2," Overlap = "Off"
A
FROM TO
Copy Times = "2," Overlap = "On"
A
FROM TO
Example 2: When the phrase is shorter than the interval
between "FROM" and "TO"
A
FROM TO
Copy Times = "2," Overlap = "Off"

About Phrase Copy
When the "Overlap" function is off, you can con-
sider copying multiple phrases simultaneously.
In this case, if all of the selected phrases are not
the same length, the timing of each will begin to
drift from one another starting with the second
copy. Therefore, in this sort of situation, make
sure all the phrases are the same length before-
hand by using phrases recorded together with
Punch-In Recording, or with Trim In (p. 97) and
Trim Out (p. 98).

Ex.: When the Phrase length differs
A
B
C
FROM TO
Copy Times = "2," Overlap = "Off"
A
B
C
FROM TO
When "Overlap" is on, there is no need to select
phrases that are the same length. However,
depending on the relationship between the
phrase length and the interval between "FROM"
and "TO," the end of the phrase may be indis-
tinct. Use this feature according to the situation.
