Saving a Phrase Memory
Saving a Phrase Memory (Write)
If you select a different phrase memory or turn off the power after
recording or overdubbing, the data you recorded will be lost. If you
want to keep the data, you must save it.
1.
While playback is stopped, press the [WRITE] button .
The Write screen appears.
Write to 12
INIT MEMORY
Save-Destination Phrase Memory Number
Save-Destination Phrase Memory Name
2.
Turn the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob to select the save-
destination phrase memory .
• This procedure is not required if the phrase memory number is
acceptable as is.
• Phrase memory numbers in which data has already been saved
are shown in parentheses, and cannot be overwritten.
Write to ( 13)
My Memory
• The maximum recording time is a total of approximately 3 hours
for all phrase memories (including the track that has not been
saved). If the phrase memory cannot be saved because there is
insufficient free memory, the display indicates “Memory Full!”
In this case, delete unneeded phrase memories (p. 15) and then
try the recording operation again.
3.
Press the [WRITE] button; the phrase memory will be
saved .
• If you decide to cancel the save operation, press the [EXIT]
button.
• You can’t overwrite (i.e., save to) a phrase memory that already
contains data. If the display indicates “Not Empty!”, select an
empty phrase memory in which to save your data.
• You can assign a name to the phrase memory. For details, refer
to “Naming Phrase Memories (Memory Names)” (p. 20).
Copying a Track from Another Phrase
Memory (Track Copy)
You can then take a specific track from that phrase memory and
copy it to the current phrase memory.
This is a convenient method to use when you need a pattern with
the same backing, as it allows you to prepare tracks simply and
easily without having to start recording from scratch again.
1.
To prevent loss of the content of the current work, press
the [WRITE] button twice to save the current phrase
memory .
Since you need to confirm the sound of the current source track,
you must select the copy-source phrase memory once in Track
Copy. Save the phrase memory so the content of the current
operation is not lost.
2.
In the Play screen, select the phrase memory in which the
track you want to copy is recorded .
3.
Press the [WRITE] button .
4.
Press the [ ]/[ ] buttons until “Copy Track” appears in
the display .
Copy Track1 to
Memory12 Track1
Copy-Source Track
Copy-Destination Track
Copy-Destination Phrase memory
5.
Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to move the cursor, and turn
the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob to enter the copy-source
track, copy-destination phrase memory and track .
Track numbers in which data has already been saved are shown in
parentheses, and cannot be overwritten.
Copy Track1 to
Memory13(Track2)
6.
Press the [WRITE] button; the track will be copied .
If you decide to cancel the operation, press the [EXIT] button.
When copying is finished, the Play screen returns to the display.
