UNDO and REDO
Undoing and redoing actions
1  Press the 
UNDO/REDO
 key and a list of the opera-
tions that you have done since the start of the song 
is shown on screen:
 
The first action (
START UP
) at the bottom of the 
display is numbered 0, and all the actions after this 
(above this) are then numbered in order.
2  Use the dial to scroll to the step to which you want 
to go back.
3  Press 
YES/ENTER
, to return to the point in your 
work just before you made your mistake.
 
You can also redo an action that you have undone in 
exactly the same way.
T I P
As well as using the dial to scroll through the list, 
you can also use the UNDO /REDO key to position the 
cursor automatically at the event before or after the 
current event.
If you press the 
UNDO
 key (unshifted), the cursor moves to 
the event immediately before the current event.
Press 
YES/ENTER
 to undo the last event.
If you press 
REDO
 (
UNDO
 when the 
SHIFT
 indicator is 
lit), the cursor moves to the event immediately following 
the current event (i.e. the last action that has been undone). 
Press the 
YES/ENTER
 key to redo this action.
NOTE
Recording, track editing, or any other operation after 
an undo or redo operation, clears the list of redoable 
actions (i.e. those actions which have been undone).
Unlike a tape recorder, but like most word-processors, you 
can undo your mistakes (the 2488neo remembers up to the 
last 999 operations you perform in each song). What is 
more, you can undo your undo operations (redo).
The operations that you can undo are:
The different track editing functions described in 
• 
this section
Recording operations (including track bounce)
• 
Auto punch operations
• 
Mixdown and mastering
• 
Import of WAV files
• 
In addition, all these operations are stored as part of the 
song on the disk; even when you turn the machine off, the 
history of all the previous operations is stored ready for 
next time.
What this means is that you can finish your work for the 
day, come back in the morning with fresh ears, and decide 
that maybe you did not want that overdub after all. With 
the 2488neo, this is no problem.
