Attention! The text in this document has been recognized automatically. To view the original document, you can use the "Original mode".
The display is now waiting for a second drum pad to be pressed (pressing RECORD
at this point will ,do nothing). If for example, TOM 1 was pressed, the display
would read:
COPY FROM PATT
CLSHAT>IOM1
The display of the second pad pressed remains underlined, indicating that It can
still be changed by selecting another drum pad. As in copying patterns, once
RECORD is pressed, the copy will be complete, and the display will read "COPY
COMPLETE."
The length of the rhythm of the destination pad will not be changed, and the source
drum rhythm will be merged with the destination drum rhythm. The destination
drum will remain assigned to its previous voice, mix, and tuning. A drum from
one pattern can be copied to a drum of another pattern if the destination pattern
is selected before selecting the source and destination drum buttons.
Copying a SONG to itself
In SONG mode, pressing and holding the COPY button will result in the following
display:
COPY FROM SONG
01
TO SONG
ai
The 01 display will actually show the currently selected song number. Like in
PATT mode, pressing RECORD will append the current song to itself, making it
twice as long.
Copying a SONG to another SONG
If a new song number is selected, the display will show the newly selected song
number, and pressing RECORD will append the source song number (the number
selected before pressing COPY), to the destination song number (the number
selected while holding COPY).
This mode is very useful, since a verse consisting of more than one pattern could
be entered into a song, and then appended into another song when needed without
having to re-enter the patterns for the verse. If the destination song would
result in more than 255 steps after copying, the copy will not be executed, and
the display will read:
TOO MANY STEPS
IN SONG
In all cases, the copy is not executed until RECORD is pressed, and will be aborted
if COPY is released before pressing RECORD. The COPY button has no effect while
a song or pattern is playing.
