Saving and Deleting Phrases
Saving Phrases (WRITE)
When you have finished recording or overdubbing, or after
you have edited the tempo or other settings of a phrase, you
can then save the phrase.
When you save a phrase, the tempo and beat settings current
at that time are stored in the selected guide pattern.
A phrase that has not been saved will be lost when you
turn off the power or select a different phrase track.
1. Set the MODE knob to WRITE.
2. Press the SELECT/ENTER button.
The indicator flashes in red, and the RC-2 switches to
save standby.
* You cannot save the phrase if it differs from the phrase
indicated with the PHRASE SELECT knob.
3. Use the PHRASE SELECT knob to select the
save-destination phrase track.
* You cannot save to a phrase track that already contains a
phrase (when LOOP/ONE SHOT indicator is lit).
* The LOOP/ONE SHOT indicator flashes when there is not
enough memory to save the phrase.
4. To save the phrase, press the SELECT/
ENTER button (to cancel the save, set the
MODE knob to any setting other than WRITE).
While the save is in progress, the SELECT/ENTER indi-
cator lights; when the save is completed, the SELECT/
ENTER indicator flashes at the same rate as the tempo.
* Depending on the length of the phrase, it may take some time
for the save to be completed.
When this occurs, the SELECT/ENTER indicator stays lit for a
length of time and then flashes twice, and this pattern is repeated.
* If you turn the MODE knob to a position other than WRITE while
a different phrase track is selected as a save destination (see Step
3), the RC-2 switches phrase tracks and the recorded phrase is lost.
<CAUTION>
• Never turn off the RC-2’s power while the SELECT/
ENTER indicator is lit. Doing so will cause all data
saved in the phrase tracks to be lost.
• Please be aware that the contents of memory
can be irretrievably lost as a result of a
malfunction or improper operation of the unit. To
protect yourself against the risk of losing
important data, save backup copies of important
data you have stored in the RC-2’s memory to
an external recorder or other device.
• All due care is taken during repairs to avoid the
loss of data. However, in certain cases, such as
when there is damage to the memory, it may
not be possible to restore the data.
• It may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored in the unit’s memory once
it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes
no liability concerning such loss of data.
