Copying Other Patch Arpeggio Patterns - Roland GR-30 Manual

Copying Other Patch Arpeggio Patterns

The steps explained below can be used to copy arpeg-
gio patterns from one patch to another.
Since all preset patches come with arpeggio patterns,
this means you have a total of 128 types to choose
from and copy to your own original patches.
You can also use the same methods to copy patterns
from any other patches you may have made with
your own original patterns (p. 60).
<Copying Arpeggio Patterns from Another Patch>
1. Choose the target patch (the patch that you wish to
copy to).
2. Press [EDIT/PLAY] to enter the Edit mode, and
set the EDIT TARGET dial to "ARPEGGIO/har-
mony."
3. Set the PARAMETER SELECT dial to "A" (A-
ARPEGGIO/harmony SEL) and check whether the
tone specified as the arpeggio target is first or sec-
ond (or both). It will be possible to test-play the
pattern unless the tone selected by TONE MIX
"LAYER" (p. 34) is specified, so make the setting
accordingly.
4. Make sure the PARAMETER SELECT dial is set to
one of the four positions from "A" to "D" (the
arpeggio-related items), and press pedal 2. The
message "CPy" (copy) appears on the display, and
the pattern copy function is called up.
5. Use [+] and [-] to change the display to show the
patch number (the final period will flash).
6. The pattern for the patch indicated by the dis-
played number is immediately developed for the
patch selected in step 1. While playing the guitar
to check the arpeggios that are generated, use [+]
and [-] to find a pattern that matches the tone.
7. Press pedal 1 to end the pattern copy function.
8. If you also wish to write the patch, then while still
in the Edit mode, set the PARAMETER SELECT
dial to "WRITE PATCH?", and press [+] and [-]
simultaneously to write the patch. If the patch
you're changing is a preset patch from E11 to H84,
or if you wish to leave the original unchanged,
first set the PARAMETER SELECT dial to "WRITE
TO...", then use [+] and [-] to specify the destina-
tion patch number for the write operation.
When a pattern is copied, the "A-RHYTHM," "A-
DURATION," and "A-TEMPO" settings of the origi-
nal patch are also automatically copied.
Arpeggiator is turned on automatically if you try to
copy a pattern for a patch which has Arpeggiator off. If
necessary turn it back off before performing a write oper-
ation. (Set the EDIT TARGET dial to "ARPEGGIO/
harmony SEL" and the PARAMETER SELECT dial to
"A," "B," or "C," and press pedal 4.)
