Deleting Blank Measures (Truncate)
Copying or merging may sometimes create blank measures at the
beginning of a phrase track or pattern. Truncate deletes silent
portions from the beginning of the specified phrase track to the first
note-on.
If other sequencer data (such as program changes or control
changes) is recorded between the beginning and the first note-on
of the specified phrase track, only the last data event of each type
will be placed before the note-on.
1. Access the Song Edit screen, and then load the song you
want to edit (p. 136).
2. Press [8 (Track Edit)].
The Track Edit window appears.
3. Press or to select “Truncate,” and then press [8
(Select)].
A message of “TRUNCATE: Select target point.” appears.
4. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the track or pattern
from which blank measures will be deleted, and press [8
(Select)] to specify it.
The Track Edit (Truncate) window appears.
