5-1 What Is Time Shift Editing?

The term "time shift editing" refers to copying an
audio signal recorded on one channel on the tape to a
different position either on the same channel or on
another channel.
Time shift editing uses the sound memory function,
which writes the audio signal into a special-purpose
sound memory. The terms "source channel" and
"destination channel" are used to refer to the channels
from and to which the copy is made, respectively.
The sound memory function in this unit provides the
following features.
• Writing stereo or mono sound
The memory can hold 80 seconds of stereo sound or
160 seconds of mono sound.
• Auto start function for writing to or reading from
the sound memory based on the CTL addresses
In auto start mode, you can specify the start point for
writing to or reading from the sound memory in terms
of CTL addresses, to sector units.
• External trigger mode
The external trigger mode allows an external analog
signal to act as a trigger to begin writing to or reading
from the sound memory.
The delay from the start of signal input to the
beginning of memory operation is no more than one
sector.
• Reverse playback
It is possible to play back sound from the sound
memory in the reverse direction.
This is useful for effects and similar operations.
