Merging Tracks - Rodgers PR-300 Owner's Manual

The music for each of these parts is shown on the
previous page. Once this has been accomplished, go
on to the next section and learn how to merge two
tracks together.
Merging Tracks
By the time you get to this section, there should be
four separate parts recorded on the PR-300:
Let's suppose that we need to add a flute descant
to what's been recorded. However, all four tracks are
currently in use as listed above. (The R track is for
rhythm parts, so it should not be used for the descant).
If we were to record the flute part on one of the four
tracks listed above, we would record over an existing
part.
For this reason, the PR-300 is equipped with a
Merge function. Merge allows you to combine the
information of two different tracks onto a single track.
By using the Merge function, a free track for the flute
descant can be created without losing any of the
previously recorded infonnation.
The PR-300's Merge function takes any and all
information on a track and adds it to infonnation on
another track. The information merged onto one track
can be separate channels (i.e., different instruments)
or it can be the same MIDI channel.
The Merge function uses the CUT and PASTE
buttons located underneath the top cover.
For this example, Track 4 will be merged with
Track 3 so that the flute descant can be recorded.
