Background: Using Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo

Imagine a printout of a sample. Now imagine that you have a pair of scissors capable of cutting a piece out of that sample (or a copy of that piece if you don’t want to affect the original), as well as a clipboard to neatly hold the cut or copied piece. Now imagine that you can either perfectly insert the clipboard contents at any given point in any sample, or mix the clipboard contents in with any sample, starting at any designated point. The Emulator can do all this, and all electronically. Auto Correlation and Crossfade functions are also provided for seamless transitions between the cut, copied, and pasted parts.

CLIPBOARD DATA. The clipboard will retain data until replaced by other data to be copied, cut, or backed up. This occurs with several operations where you want to be able to undo an action that doesn't work.

Undo and Redo

During several sample edit operations such as cut, paste, and sample rate conversion, the sample being processed will automatically be backed up and stored on the main hard disk drive. If you do not like the results of the processing, you can call up the Undo function, and restore the original sample from the main drive. (Ah, if only life itself were so simple.) Best of all, the processed sample will now move onto the main drive. Thus, if you decide you liked the processed version better after all, you can actually undo the undo. (Redo.)
