UNDO and REDO

Undoing and redoing actions

1 Press the

UNDO/REDO

key and a list of the opera-

tions that you have done since the start of the song
is shown on screen:

The first action (

START UP

) at the bottom of the

display is numbered 0, and all the actions after this
(above this) are then numbered in order.

2 Use the dial to scroll to the step to which you want

to go back.

3 Press

YES/ENTER

, to return to the point in your

work just before you made your mistake.

You can also redo an action that you have undone in
exactly the same way.

T I P

As well as using the dial to scroll through the list,
you can also use the UNDO /REDO key to position the
cursor automatically at the event before or after the
current event.

If you press the

UNDO

key (unshifted), the cursor moves to

the event immediately before the current event.

Press

YES/ENTER

to undo the last event.

If you press

REDO

(

UNDO

when the

SHIFT

indicator is

lit), the cursor moves to the event immediately following
the current event (i.e. the last action that has been undone).
Press the

YES/ENTER

key to redo this action.

NOTE

Recording, track editing, or any other operation after
an undo or redo operation, clears the list of redoable
actions (i.e. those actions which have been undone).

Unlike a tape recorder, but like most word-processors, you
can undo your mistakes (the 2488neo remembers up to the
last 999 operations you perform in each song). What is
more, you can undo your undo operations (redo).

The operations that you can undo are:

The different track editing functions described in

this section
Recording operations (including track bounce)

Auto punch operations

Mixdown and mastering

Import of WAV files

In addition, all these operations are stored as part of the
song on the disk; even when you turn the machine off, the
history of all the previous operations is stored ready for
next time.

What this means is that you can finish your work for the
day, come back in the morning with fresh ears, and decide
that maybe you did not want that overdub after all. With
the 2488neo, this is no problem.
