1. The SR-16 should be in Pattern mode and stopped.
2. Select the Pattern containing the drum part to be copied.
3. Press and hold the COPY button, and keep holding it down until step (7). The display says
COPY TO PATT.
4. Tap the pad to be copied. The display shows the pad number (e.g., D 8 if you hit pad 8).
5. Tap the destination pad that should hold the copied part. As long as COPY is held down,
the destination pad can still be changed by selecting another drum pad.
6. Press PLAY. The display says COPY DONE.
7. Release the COPY and PLAY buttons.
3 . 3 C Copy a Single Drum Pad's Part to a Drum Pad in a Different Pattern
This copy function merges the source drum pad rhythm with the destination drum pad rhythm
in a different Pattern. To replace the destination rhythm with the source rhythm, first erase the
destination pad rhythm to be replaced (section 3.2C).
1. The SR-16 should be in Pattern mode and stopped.
2. Select the Pattern containing the drum part to be copied.
3. Press and hold the COPY button, and keep holding it down until step (8). The display says
COPY TO PATT.
4. Enter the destination Pattern number to which the drum part should be copied.
5. Tap the pad containing the part to be copied. The display will show the drum number (such
as D 2 if you hit pad 2).
6. Tap the destination pad to which the source part will be merged. Often when copying to a
different Pattern, this will be the same drum pad number as selected in step (5). As long as
COPY is held down, the destination pad can still be changed by selecting another drum pad.
7. Press PLAY. The display says COPY DONE.
8. Release the COPY and PLAY buttons.
3 . 3 D Copy a Pattern to Another SR-16 Via MIDI
The SR-16 can send User Pattern system exclusive information (for the Main and Fill
Patterns) to another SR-16 via MIDI. If you have only one SR-16, you can skip this section.
1. The source SR-16 should be in User Pattern mode and stopped. Connect the source SR-
16 MIDI out to the destination SR-16 MIDI in.
2. Select the Pattern to be copied.
3. Press and hold the COPY button, and keep holding it down until step (5). The display says
COPY TO PATT.
4. Do not enter any destination Pattern number—just press PLAY to send the data out over
MIDI. The display says PATT OUT MIDI. The source SR-16's Pattern will end up in the
receiving SR-16's currently selected Pattern location.
• This procedure follows the standard copy rules described at the beginning of section 3.3.
• If the receiver was set to Main, and the Pattern is not empty, the source Main and Fill
Patterns will be appended to the receiver's Main and Fill Patterns.
• If the receiver was set to Fill, the Fill will replaced by that of the source Pattern to maintain
the same Main and Fill Pattern lengths.
