SEQUENCER mode
Initialize Song
This command erases all data in the current song, and
restores all parameters to their default states. It's convenient
for clearing Song locations if you receive the "Not enough
song locations available" error message.
WAV files and their regions will not be deleted. If you want
to delete this data, use the Delete Unused WAV Files
command. For more information, see "Delete Unused WAV
Files" on page 724.
Copy From Song
This command copies all of the setting data and musical data
from the specified song to the currently selected song.
1. Select "Copy From Song" to open the dialog box.
2. In "From," specify the copy source song number.
3. Select the data that you wish to copy.
All: will copy all setting data and musical data (track
events and audio events, etc.).
Without Track/Pattern Events: will copy only the
setting data of songs, except for Play Loop and RPPR
data.
4. To execute the Copy Song operation, press the OK
button. To cancel, press the Cancel button.
Be aware that if you execute "All," all setting data and
musical data of the currently selected song will be erased
and rewritten by the data from the copy source song.
If you execute "Without Track/Pattern Events," song
setting data other than Play Loop and RPPR will be
rewritten.
Load Template Song
Template Songs store pretty much everything in the Song
except for the MIDI and audio data itself. This includes
Program selections, track parameters, effects and
Arpeggiator settings, and the Song's name and tempo.
The factory preset Template Songs let you get up and
running quickly with matched sets of sounds and effects for
various styles of music. You can also create your own
Template Songs with your favorite sounds and setups.
Note that Template Songs do not include the MIDI data for
song tracks and patterns, audio data, or settings that govern
how the musical data is played back, including Meter,
Metronome, PLAY/MUTE, and Track Play Loop
(including Start/End measure).

While loading a Template Song, you can also optionally load
one or more Drum Track patterns.
1. Select "Load Template Song" to open the dialog box.
2. In "From," specify the Template Song that you wish to
load.
3. If you check "Copy Pattern to MIDI Track too?," the
"Copy Pattern To Track" dialog box will appear
automatically after "Load Template Song" has been
executed.
If you execute without checking this, only the template
song you specified in step 2 will be loaded.
4. To load the Template Song, press the OK button. To
cancel without loading, press the Cancel button.
When you execute, song settings other than Play Loop
and RPPR will be copied.
If in step 3 you checked "Copy Pattern to MIDI Track
too?" and pressed the OK button, the "Copy Pattern To
MIDI Track" dialog box will appear.
This dialog box is the same as in the page menu
command "Copy To MIDI Track".
5. In Pattern, select the pattern that you wish to copy.
In To Track, select the copy destination track.
In Measure, specify the beginning measure of the copy
destination.
Note: In each of the preset Template Songs, track 1 is
always assigned to a Drum Program. (In some cases,
other tracks may also have Drum Programs.)
Following the names for each of the preset patterns, the
musical style and the name of the most suitable Drum
Programs are partially displayed. (Refer to the VNL for a
complete list of Drum Programs.)
By loading a drum track and the corresponding preset
pattern, you can instantly set up a Drum Track to match
the Template Song.
6. To execute, press the OK button.
When you execute, Measure will count up automatically.
You may then copy patterns as well. To exit the
command, press the Exit button.
For details on how to copy preset patterns to a song along
with the preset template song, see "Template Songs" on
page 76 of the OG.
