17.COPY SOUND This function allows you to move any sound in the SP-12 to any location (Banks 1 - 4.). You should think of the front panel instrument names (Bass 1, Rim, User 6, etc.) as locations as well as sounds. For example, if you want to move the factory COWBELL sound to the RIM location (Bank 1, location 7), and the USER 1 sound to the COWBELL location (Bank 1, location 8), you would follow the procedure outlined below.

User - 1 Select sound User - 1 Cowbell Confirm? Y/N Catalog functions Use slider # 1

Remember that the LCD display names the location of a sound, not necessarily the sound itself, thus you will hear the COWBELL even though the display reads RIM. The RIM sound is still in the SP-12’s memory, but it is no longer assigned to a location, and therefore cannot be played or heard. To recover the RIM sound, see Set-up Module function # 20 -“ Delete Sound “, in the SP-12 owners manual.

You can never “lose” the factory (ROM) sounds, they are burned permanently into chips, but User (RAM) sounds are erased when another sound is written into their location. Always make sure that you have stored a RAM sound on disk or cassette before overwriting it.
