Editing a Phrase Sequence
You can edit your sequenced data on the PHRASE SEQUENCE screens. You can also
perform many standard phrase and region editing operations on phrase sequencer
data using the mouse and TRACK EDIT buttons—TRACK menu commands apply only
to hard disk recorder tracks.
Phrase and Region Editing of Phrase Sequenced Data
You can perform some of the same phrase- and region-based editing operations on
phrase sequencer data that can be performed on hard disk recorder tracks. The
following operations can be applied to sequenced data:
In addition, you can use your mouse to drag and drag-copy data much the same way as
you can edit hard disk recorder data with your mouse.
If you click on the PHRASE SEQUENCE window’s playlist, the Phrase Sequence Edit
Pop-Up menu appears. This menu acts just like the Edit Pop-Up menu, allowing you to
select from among the available editing operations. The only phrase-sequencer-specific
item in the menu is GRID, explained on Page 7.
Phrase Sequence Editing Tools
You can edit your sequenced data when the PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE SEQ is lit
solid red. If you attempt to perform an edit when the sequencer’s in Record mode—
flashing red—the VS-2480 displays:
Press ENTER/YES to dismiss the message and press PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE
SEQ to turn it solid red before attempting the edit again.
Available phrase editing operations: Available region editing operations:
COPY COPY
MOVE MOVE
TRIM IN INSERT
TRIM OUT CUT
DELETE ERASE
If you drag a phrase with your mouse when the grid is turned on, the front edge of the
phrase snaps to the nearest gridline, allowing you to place the phrase perfectly in time.
Just as with the Edit Pop-Up menu, hold down CLEAR when the Phrase Sequence Edit
Pop-Up menu is open to view options for clearing your edit points. Hold down SHIFT
for GO TO options.
