edit and press [LOCATOR 1].

2. Go to the time location at which you want to END the

edit and press [LOCATOR 2].

FROM and TO points using Locators 3 and 4 respectively.

See p. 163 for a practical example.

designated as the START point.

3 and 4 respectively. See p. 163 for a practical example.

Track Editing vs. Phrase

Editing

The VS-1680 offers two different types of editing. These are

called “track editing” and “phrase editing.” Every time you

start and stop recording, the VS-1680 creates a block of audio

in the display. These blocks are called “phrases,” and they

include the instructions that tell the VS-1680 which portion of

your recordings should be played. If you put a track into

Record at the very beginning of a song, press [PLAY] and

record all the way to the end, you will have one phrase that

plays the entire newly recorded disk file. On the other hand,

if you punch in and out several times over the length of a

track, you will end up with many different phrases—one for

each punch-in and punch-out—that tell the VS-1680 to play a

bit of this recorded disk file, a bit of that one, and so on.

In a track edit, you must specify the START and END points

in a section of audio you wish to edit. For track edits such as

Cut and Erase, you only need to specify the start and end

points. Most editing functions other than Cut and Erase have

four parameters: START, END, FROM and TO. (see Section II

in this chapter for definitions of these parameters).
