Convenient functions for performance editing (Performance Utility)

Performance Utility provides various functions that you will find convenient when editing performances, allowing you to do things such as copy or initialize a performance.

Copying part or effect parameters

(PERFORM PRM COPY)

This operation copies the settings of a specified performance to the current performance. By using this you can edit more efficiently. The following four parameters can be copied. Effect-related parameters can also be copied from a patch.

PART:Copy settings made for each part (p. 56).

MFX:Copy multi-effect settings.

CHORUS: Copy chorus settings.

REVERB: Copy reverb settings.
