Track Editing with the Mouse

A mouse can perform a wide range of VS-2480 editing operations. You can also use the
mouse or the VS-2480's buttons, or use them together.
For an overview of track editing in the VS-2480, see "About VS-2480 Track Editing" on
Page 21. You'll find explanations for the terminology used in the following sections.
Track editing takes place on the Home screen or the Wave Display. Press HOME or
WAVE DISP, respectively, to view these screens.

Moving the Cursor to a Track

To move the cursor to a track with your mouse, click on the track or on its number to the
left of the playlist area.

Selecting Phrases

You can select a phrase using the mouse by clicking on the desired phrase or dragging
across it. In addition, you can drag vertically or diagonally across multiple tracks to
select one phrase on each, or you can also hold down SHIFT and click the phrase on
each track you'd like to select.
The VS-2480 automatically places the FROM point (Page 21) at the start of the earliest
selected phrase for your convenience. You can manually reset the FROM point if you
want to.
