4. While continuing to hold the COPY button, enter the destination Song number to which the
source Song should be copied using the number or INC/DEC buttons.
5. While you continue to hold the COPY button down, press PLAY. The copy is complete, and
the display says COPY DONE.
6. Release the COPY and PLAY buttons.
Notes
• If the destination Song was empty, the copy is identical to the source Song.
• If the destination Song was not empty, then the source Song is appended to the end of the destination Song.
This increases the destination Song's length by the length of the source Song; if the total destination Song length
would exceed 254 steps after copying, the copy will not take place, and the display will say SONG TOO LONG.
5.4J Copy a Song to Another SR-16 Via MIDI
The SR-16 can send Song system exclusive information 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 Song mode and stopped. Connect the source SR-16 MIDI
out to the destination SR-16 MIDI in.
2. Select the Song to be copied.
3. Press and hold the COPY button, and keep holding it down until step (5). The display says
COPY TO SONG.
4. Do not enter any destination Song number—just press PLAY to send the data out over
MIDI. It will end up in whatever Song number had been selected at the receiver. If the Song
was not empty, the new Song steps will be appended to the existing Song steps.
5. Release the COPY and PLAY buttons.
Caution: This does not transfer Pattern information, only the song steps. To transfer Patterns
to another SR-16, see section 3.3D and 3.3E.
