Importing rhythm patterns and
the rhythm song from another
project

(255 patterns) and rhythm song data from another project
that was saved on the hard disk.

then press the [PROJECT/UTILITY] key.
A screen will appear in which you can make various
settings for the rhythm section. (This screen is called the
"rhythm utility menu.") This operation can be performed
whether the rhythm section is in Rhythm Pattern mode or
in Rhythm Song mode.
2. Use the cursor [ E ]/[ R ] keys to make the display
read "UTILITY IMPORT," and press the [ENTER]
key.
A screen will appear in which you can select the project to

3. Turn the dial to select a project, and press the
[ENTER] key.
The display will ask "SURE?"
4. Press the [ENTER] key to import, or press the
[EXIT] key to cancel.
After the data has been imported, you will return to the
rhythm utility menu. To return to the main screen, press the
[EXIT] key several times.
The rhythm patterns and rhythm song that are imported will
overwrite the rhythm patterns and rhythm song of the
project that you are currently operating.
