Using the clipboard to copy
a sample
The "clipboard" is a function that temporarily stores a
desired sample. You can use this function to copy a sample.
This is convenient when you want to copy between different
pad banks, or to swap (exchange) the location of samples.

Copying a single sample

1. Press [SONG] or [PTN] to display the Play screen.
2. Hold down the pad of the sample that you want to
copy, and press [CLIPBOARD].
The sample will be copied to the clipboard, and
[CLIPBOARD] will light.
When you press [CLIPBOARD], the copied sample will
play.
3. Hold down [CLIPBOARD] and press the copy-
destination pad.
If you want to copy to a different pad bank, press [PAD
BANK] to switch the pad bank. (p. 30)
If the copy-destination pad contains a sample, you will
be asked "OK to Overwrite?" If it is ok to overwrite and
erase the previous sample, press [F1] (YES). If you do not
want to erase the previous sample, press [F2] (NO).
If you hold down [CLIPBOARD] and press [DEL], the
sample that was copied to the clipboard will be erased.
Never turn off the power while the display indicates
"Keep Power On!"
