Owner’s Manual 79
From the Merge Pattern page, you can merge two patterns and
store the result as a User pattern. To start, select a User pattern to
hold the merged pattern on the Select Pattern page (PTN1). Then,
navigate to the Merge Pattern page and press the [ENTER] button
to open the Merge Pattern Settings page.
PTN4-2-1 Merge Pattern Settings page
1 Merge pattern 1
B Merge pattern 2
Use the above two parameters to specify the patterns that are
to be merged as one.
• If the User pattern selected before opening the Merge Pattern page
already contains data, it will be overwritten with the merged pattern.
• The tempo and time signature of Merge pattern 1 are set as the tempo
and time signature of the merged pattern. If Merge pattern 1 is empty,
however, the tempo and time signature of Merge pattern 2 are used.
• The channel-specific MIDI settings of Merge pattern 1 are set as those
of the merged pattern. In the case, however, of MIDI channels for
which Merge pattern 1 contains no settings, any applicable settings
from Merge pattern 2 will be applied.
• Generally speaking, only patterns with similar tempos, time signatures,
and MIDI voice settings should be merged.
• Demo patterns cannot be selected for merging.
From the Clear Pattern page, you can delete all data from the cur-
rently selected User pattern. To do so, press the [ENTER] button
with the Clear Pattern page displayed, and when asked to confirm
that you wish to proceed, press the [ENTER] button once again.
From the Clear All Patterns page, you can delete data from all
User patterns. To do so, press the [ENTER] button with the Clear
All Patterns page displayed, and when asked to confirm that you
wish to proceed, press the [ENTER] button once again.
From the Copy Pattern page, you can copy a pattern to the cur-
rently selected User pattern. With the Copy Pattern page dis-
played, press the [ENTER] button to open the Copy Pattern
Setting page.

PTN4-3 Clear Pattern page
• When a User pattern is cleared as described above, its data is com-
pletely erased from the instrument’s pattern memory. Be sure, there-
fore, to always save important data on a USB memory device or the
like before deleting.
PTN4-4 Clear All Patterns page
• When User patterns are cleared as described above, their data is
completely erased from the instrument’s pattern memory. Be sure,
therefore, to always save important data on a USB memory device
or the like before deleting.
