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. (☞p.47 "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. (☞p.38, "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.

Erasing part, effect, or delay mo-

tion sequence data (Clear Motion)

Here’s how you can erase the motion sequence data of a part, the effect, or the delay in a single operation.

1.If a pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop play- back.

2.Hold down the Shift key and press step key 6 (Clear Mo- tion). (Key 6 will blink.)

3.Press a part key or the Motion Seq key of DELAY or EFFECT to specify the motion sequence that you wish to erase. (The key will blink.)

4.Press step key 6 once again to execute the Clear operation. If you selected the DELAY motion sequence, both depth and time will be cleared. If you selected the EFFECT motion se- quence, both Edit 1 and Edit 2 will be cleared.

If you wish to cancel without clearing, press the Stop/Cancel key.

Pattern	Pattern data before				Pattern data
length	writing				after writing
1	A	—	—	—	A	A	A	A
2	A	B	—	—	A	B	A	B
3	A	B	C —		A	B	C	C

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 pat- tern.
