Chapter 2: Recording on the DPS16
Using the Undo/Redo functions
If you are not satisfied with a recording, you can use the Undo function to cancel the previous recording. With the
DPS16’s default setting, the undo level is set to “1”. (The undo level is a parameter that determines the number of
previous operations you can undo. The setting “1” means that you can restore one previous operation.) You can set
this value in a range from 0 to 250, inclusive. (See page 109 for more information.) The operation of the Undo
function is slightly different between undo level 1 and undo level 2 or higher.
Undo level = 1 (default setting)
1. Right after you make a recording, press the [UNDO] key.
One previous take that was recorded or edited is stored on the disk. Pressing the [UNDO] key causes the DPS16
to return to the status prior to the most current recording or edit. The LED above the [UNDO] key will light up.

2. If you wish to cancel the undo operation, press the [UNDO] key again.
Pressing the [UNDO] key again after the undo operation will restore the status obtained before you performed
the undo operation. The LED will turn off. (Redo) However, if you made a new recording or edit after the
undo operation, the take that was canceled by the first undo operation will be discarded.

Undo level = 2 or higher
When the undo level is set to 2 or higher, the corresponding number of takes is stored on the disk. Press the
[UNDO] key and specify the number of operations you wish to be able to return to.
1. Right after recording or editing is complete, press the [UNDO] key.
The Undo/Redo window appears, in which you may specify the number of operations you wish to undo.
2. Turn the [JOG] wheel to enter the number of undo operations.
For example, if you wish to return to the fourth previous status, enter “4”.
3. Press the [F6] ( DO IT) key.
The DPS16 returns to the previous status you specified, and the LED above the [UNDO] key lights up.
4. Press the [UNDO] key again to specify a different number of undo operations.
If you press the [UNDO] key again right after you performed the undo operation, you can specify the number of
undo operations again. However, if you have made a new recording or edit after the undo operation, the take
that was canceled by the first undo operation will be discarded.
