● BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of available beats depends on
the time signature in the selected area.
● CPT (1~119)—Refers to the last clock that should be
affected by the edit operation. Change this setting only
if your edit operation should not end exactly on the
selected beat.
■EXECUTE
Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.
The COPY function allows you to copy one track to another or excerpts of one or all tracks to a different location. The latter is useful if you need to repeat the chorus several times at the end of the song but do not feel like recording all those notes. ■SRC TRACK (ALL, 1~16)
Allows you to select the track whose data you wish to copy.
■FROM
● BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—Refers to
the first measure to be edited. By default, the FROM
value is set to the beginning of the selected track(s).
● BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of available beats depends on
the time signature in the selected area.
● CPT (1~119)—This is where you specify the CPT position
of the beginning of the track excerpt to be copied.
Unless you do not need all notes of the first bar, you
should keep the default setting.
■TO
By default, the TO position is set to the last event of the
selected track (or the last event of the longest track when
you select “ALL”).
● BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—This is
where you specify the bar position of the last measure to
be edited.
● BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of available beats depends on
the time signature in the selected area.
● CPT (1~119)—Refers to the last clock that should be
affected by the edit operation. Change this setting only
if your edit operation should not end exactly on the
selected beat.
■COPY MODE (Replace, Mix)
Allows you to specify how the data should be copied:
● REPLACE—The selected FROM/TO range overwrites the
data (of the destination track) in the area to which the
selected data are copied.
● MIX—The data in the selected range of the source track
are added to the data on the destination track.
In most instances, “REPLACE” is probably a good choice
when you set DATA TYPE to “ALL” or when you wish to
substitute a given “message cluster” (modulation data,
for example) for other messages of the same type (thus
creating a perfect reproduction of a given control
effect).
“MIX”, on the other hand, may be useful for adding data
to a number of beats or bars that were not there before,
while keeping the original notes in those places. You can
choose the kind of data to be copied using “DATA TYPE”.
Note: The E-80 has no Undo function. Saving your song
before copying will allow you to load the previous version if
something goes wrong.
■COPY TIMES (1~999)
Sets the number of copies you wish to make. The value “3”
means that you will end up with 3 contiguous copies.
■DATA TYPE
Allows you to select the data to be copied:
When you select “Note”, a FROM NOTE and TO NOTE field
appear that allow you to set the upper and lower limit of
the notes to be copied. (See also “Fine-tuning the setting
range” on p. 182.)
■DST TRACK
This is where you select the track to which you want to
copy the selected data. If you set SRC TRACK to “ALL”, the
DST TRACK setting cannot be changed.
COPY
ALL All parameters listed below.
Note Only note messages.
P.Bender Pitch Bend data.
Control
Change
Control change messages.
Prog. C Program change messages.
NRPN Non-registered-parameter-number messages.
These are parameter control functions of the GS/
GM2 format that are easier to use than SysEx
messages (but basically have the same function).
RPN Registered-parameter-number messages. They
work like NRPN messages, and are understood by
many GM- and GM2-compatible tone genera-
tors.
CAF Channel Aftertouch messages.
