Copying a part (Copy Part)

You can copy the sound settings and phrase pattern data (in- cluding motion sequence) from a selected part to another part.

1.If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.

2.Press the Part key to select the copy destination part (the LED will light).

3.Hold down the Shift key and press step key 10 (Copy Part). (Key 10 will blink.) The display will begin blinking.

4.Rotate the dial to select the copy source pattern number.

5.Use the part key to select the copy source part. (The copy source LED will blink, and the copy destination LED will be dark.)

6.Press step key 10 once again to execute the Copy Part opera- tion.

To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.

For details on data copy within the same part, refer to the following section "Data Copy within a part."

Data Copy within a pattern

Phrase pattern data (including motion sequence data) that you create for a pattern of length 1 can be copied to the steps of lengths 2...4. This function is a convenient way to create a pat- tern that uses similar phrases repeatedly.

1.Create a pattern with a length of 1, and Write it into memory. (Refer to p.32 "Saving a pattern.")

2.At this point, the same data as in length 1 will automatically be copied to the steps of lengths 2...4.

3.Change the pattern length to the desired length. (Refer to p.26, "Length, Scale/Beat settings.")

4.The steps of lengths 2...4 will contain the same data as length

1.Now you can edit the data of lengths 2...4 to complete the pattern.

The data will be copied in a similar way when the pattern length is 2 or 3 (refer to the table below). If you shorten a pattern you create, the data will be copied according to the shortened length.

The data that is copied automatically when you Write a pattern does not force the pattern length (1--4) to change. If the length is 4, data will not be copied within the pattern.
