a sampling rate of 44.1kHz, which enables you to record and playback

Managing up to five programs using the Program Change function
* Using the Program Change function allows you to record, playback, and

for details.)
* You need only one action to monitor the copied audio data using the
Clipboard Play function. (Refer to pages "96" and ’101" for details.)

when you try to copy & paste or move * paste data in excess of the
currently-available disk space. (Refer to page "31" for details.)

* The Undo/Redo functions will cancel the latest edit and restore the data
obtained before the edit, or restore the data obtained after the edit
respectively. (Refer to pages "82, 98. 103, 106 and 107" for details.)
