SONG | COPY
Use to: Copy the content of the current song into another song. After completion
of this job, you will have two copies of the same song. This feature is useful
when you want to edit one copy of the song while retaining another for safe-
keeping, when you want to edit multiple versions of the same basic song
content, or when you want to copy multiple samples from one song to an-
other.
●
This job copies all of the song’s data (samples, sequence data, MTC offset, track
settings, knob settings, ribbon settings, scenes, markers, BPM, quantize, and MIDI
settings).
●
If you copy over an existing song, all of that song’s data (all of its samples, etc.) will
be lost.
Procedure
1. Press SONG | COPY to enter this job.
▼ (The screen shows
COPY TO SONG xx, where xx is the destination song number.
The initial setting for xx is one higher than the source song number (except that if
the original song number is 20, then xx is 19).
2. Turn the dial as necessary to select the destination song number. Then press [OK].
▼ If the destination song number already contains song data, the screen displays the
OVERWRITE? prompt. If you do not mind overwriting (deleting) the song data at
the destination side, press [OK] again. If not, press [CANCEL] to return to the previ-
ous screen, so you can select a different destination. (But note that overwriting is not
actually executed until data is copied at step 4 below.)
▼ The name-entry screen appears. The screen shows the default name enclosed in
brackets: [COPYSONG] . The first character is flashing.
3. Edit the name for the destination song: use and to move to each character
position, and use [NAME/INSERT], [NAME/DELETE], and the dial as necessary to set
the characters. (See Step 3 of the SONG | NAME job explanation, above.)
4. Then press [OK] to execute the copy and register the new name.
NOTE:
If you enter a name that is already assigned to another song, the screen briefly displays
the error message
NAME EXISTS and then returns you to the name-entry screen. Enter
a unique name and press [OK] again, or else press [CANCEL] as necessary to escape.
▼ The SU700 displays the “working” pattern to indicate that it is copying the data.
When copying is completed, the main screen returns.
