The pull-up menu has buttons used for editing, including
nine editing buttons (Copy, Cut, Erase, Divide, Insert, Insert
File, Insert Mute, Paste and Paste File) and UNDO and REDO

CAUTION
If you do not save the AES31 editing information after
changing it, all changes will be cleared when you load
another folder or AES31 editing information file, remove a
card or turn off the unit’s power, for example.
