To Erase A And B That Remain From The First Take, And Recover Disk Space; Deleting The Undo Data; Sharing Event Data; Pc Drive - Korg D3200 Owner's Manual

To erase A and B that remain from the first take, and
recover disk space
Execute the TRACK "EditTrk" tab page "OptimizeTrk" (op-
timize) command on track 1 for the region between the be-
ginning and end of the song.
When this is executed, only the audio data of the Intro, 2nd
take of A (A'), 2nd take of B (B'), and the Break will be kept.
This means that the 1st take of A and 1st take of B data will
no longer occupy disk space.

3. You recorded A and B on track 1 as the first take. As the
second take, you overwrite-recorded the Intro, A', B',
and Break.

2nd take Intro
In this case, the first take A and B remain "beneath" A'
and B', but since the audio data of take 1 is not used at
all once you finished recording take 2, there is no need to
execute the optimize command.

Deleting the Undo data

Even if you use the drive space efficiently as described above
( ), the old data will be kept on the drive for use by the
Undo function.
To delete this undo data, either click the Clear button in the
"Undo/Redo" tab page (→p.141), or put the D3200 in stand-
by mode (shut down). After restarting, all undo data will be
deleted, recovering free space on the drive.
Be aware that restarting the D3200 will delete the undo data
of all the songs.

Sharing event data

If you use the Copy Track operation to copy track data to an-
other track (e.g., virtual track) or another song, this audio
data will be shared, so that the drive capacity will not de-
crease. However if you execute the Optimize Track operation
on the copy-destination or copy-source track, new audio data
will be created, and this will mean that a greater amount of
drive capacity will be used than before the operation was ex-
ecuted.
In the case of 2 above, if you copy the first take to another
track before you record the second time, then executing the
Optimize Track operation will not delete the "A" and "B" re-
gions of the first take, and new audio data for the "Intro" and
"Break" regions will be created, meaning that a greater
amount of drive capacity will be used.
