Exchanging Performance Data
Between Tracks (Track Exchange)
This operation exchanges the playback data of two
tracks.
* Playback data of a track for which Channel Link is ON
cannot be exchanged to a track whose channel has a
Channel Link setting of OFF. In the same way, playback
data of a track for which Channel Link is OFF cannot be
exchanged to a track whose channel has a Channel Link
setting of ON.
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 Move page. In Play condition, use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Move to the beginning (“St”) of the move
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 moved
(“Frm”).
4. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC2/6].
5. Move to the end location of the move source
performance data (“End”).
6. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC3/7].
7. Move to the basic time of the move destina-
tion (“To”).
8. Hold down [TRACK] and press [LOC4/8].
If you now access the Track Move 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 move destination time. However, if you want
to have the move 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 move 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 move 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 move source time at which the
explosion begins” and “TO” (the reference time of
the move destination) as “the move destination
time at which you want the explosion to occur.”
This lets you move the data with the explosion
placed with precisely the right timing.
