The Optimize operation searches all V-tracks on the
target song, and when playing back those V-tracks,
erases the phrases that cannot be heard. For exam-
ple, even if you execute the Optimize with the V-track
1 of Track 1 selected, the phrases that are heard when
V-tracks 2–16 are selected for playback are not deleted.
