SONG COPY

Use to: Copy the content of the current song into another song. After completion of this job, you will have two copies of the same song. This feature is useful when you want to edit one copy of the song while retaining another for safe- keeping, when you want to edit multiple versions of the same basic song content, or when you want to copy multiple samples from one song to an- other.

This job copies all of the song’s data (samples, sequence data, MTC offset, track settings, knob settings, ribbon settings, scenes, markers, BPM, quantize, and MIDI settings).

If you copy over an existing song, all of that song’s data (all of its samples, etc.) will be lost.

Procedure

1. Press SONG COPY to enter this job.

(The screen shows COPY TO SONG xx, where xx is the destination song number. The initial setting for xx is one higher than the source song number (except that if the original song number is 20, then xx is 19).

2.Turn the dial as necessary to select the destination song number. Then press [OK].

If the destination song number already contains song data, the screen displays the OVERWRITE? prompt. If you do not mind overwriting (deleting) the song data at the destination side, press [OK] again. If not, press [CANCEL] to return to the previ- ous screen, so you can select a different destination. (But note that overwriting is not actually executed until data is copied at step 4 below.)

The name-entry screen appears. The screen shows the default name enclosed in brackets: [COPYSONG]. The first character is flashing.

3.Edit the name for the destination song: use and to move to each character position, and use [NAME/INSERT], [NAME/DELETE], and the dial as necessary to set the characters. (See Step 3 of the SONG NAME job explanation, above.)

4.Then press [OK] to execute the copy and register the new name.

NOTE:

If you enter a name that is already assigned to another song, the screen briefly displays the error message NAME EXISTS and then returns you to the name-entry screen. Enter a unique name and press [OK] again, or else press [CANCEL] as necessary to escape.

The SU700 displays the “working” pattern to indicate that it is copying the data. When copying is completed, the main screen returns.
