Creating and Editing Songs
”PC” stands for “Program Change,” which is a command that
tells an instrument to change the sound it’s using. With songs
that rely on the use of a variety of sounds, a “PC” needs to be
located at every point within the song where the Tone is to be
changed.
Some edits can’t be undone, not even by choosing “Undo.” We
recommend saving songs to external memories or to user
memory before editing. For more on how to save songs, refer
to “Saving Songs” (p. 134).

Replace
If there is a performance recorded at the copy destination, this
previous recording is erased, and the copied data is written in
its place.
Mix
If there is a performance recorded at the copy destination, the
copied data is layered over the previous recording. If the Tones
used for the copy source and copy destination are different,
the copy-destination Tone is used.

If there is a performance recorded at the copy destination, the
copied portion is inserted without erasing the previous
recording. The song is lengthened by the number of inserted
measures.
