ERASE SONG 01
Pressing the RECORD button will erase the currently selected song number. The eight
track buttons are Inactive when erasing songs. The page up and page down buttons are
also Inactive when erasing songs.
In all cases, the erase Is not executed until RECORD Is pressed, and will be aborted if
ERASE is released before pressing RECORD. The ERASE button has no effect while a
song or part Is playing.
COPY
The copy button Is used to copy or append a track, part, or song, to another track, part, or
song. It only functions while the COPY button is held down. If the COPY button is
released (either before or after the copy Is executed), the previous mode will show up on
the display, and copy mode Is exited.
Copying a PART to Itself
When in PART mode, and COPY is pressed and held, all 8 track LEDs will light, and the
display will read:
COPY FROM PART
01 TOPARTfll
Both displayed part numbers will actually display the current part number (00-99). Pressing
RECORD completes the operation, and the display reads:
COPY COMPLETE
This display remains until the RECORD button is released, which then returns the
sequencer to the previous copy display (unless COPY Is released as well). The above
example demonstrated copying a part (all 8 tracks) to itself, which will double the length of
that part.
Copying a PART to another PART
To copy a part to another part, press and hold COPY, then enter the two digit part number
with the keypad. The display will show the selected part number. Pressing RECORD
Initiates the copy, and appends the source part (the current part before COPY was
pressed) to the destination part (the part entered with the keypad). Again, all 8 track LEDs
are lit, so all 8 tracks are copied.
If the destination part was empty, then the destination now contains an exact copy of the
source part. If the destination was not empty, then the destination's length Is Increased by
the length of the source part, and the source part Is appended to the end of the
destination part. Any MIDI assignments made on the source part's tracks will be overridden
by the destination part's MIDI assignments.
Copying a TRACK to Itself
To copy a single track to itself (useful for erasing all but one type of MIDI Information, see
below), press and hold the COPY button, select the desired track (its LED will remain lit and
the others will turn off), then press RECORD.
