An Easy Way to Specify the Time Settings
Times for the “St,” “Frm,” “End,” and “To” can be
specified directly without having to display the
Track Copy page. In Play condition, use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Move to the beginning (“St”) of the copy
source performance data.
2. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC1/5].
3. Move to the time location in the destination
to which the performance data will be copied
(“Frm”).
4. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC2/6].
5. Move to the end location of the copy source
performance data (“End”).
6. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC3/7].
7. Move to the basic time of the copy destination
(“To”).
8. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC4/8].
If you now access the Track Copy page, the times
that were specified in steps 1–8 will be input as
the time settings for the respective points.

Using “Frm” Effectively
Normally, the data is copied starting at the speci-
fied copy destination time. However, if you want
to have the copy made with reference to a point
within the designated range where a specific
sound occurs, set this with “Frm.”
For example, suppose that you wish to copy a
sound effect of a time bomb ticking and then
exploding, and that you want to place the explo-
sion at a specific timing location. Normally, in
order to specify the copy destination time, you
would have to calculate the time until the explo-
sion occurs. In such cases, however, you can spec-
ify “Frm” as “the copy source time at which the
explosion begins” and “TO” (the reference time of
the copy destination) as “the copy destination
time at which you want the explosion to occur.”
This lets you copy the data with the explosion
placed with precisely the right timing.
