Edit - Copy - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-6000 Owner's Manual

NOTES
• Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy
timing. Use it judiciously, however, because timing that
is too perfect can sound cold and mechanical —
unless, of course, you're specifically aiming for a cold,
mechanical feel. Always use a quantize value that is at
least as "short" as the shortest notes in the track to be
quantized. If you quantize a track containing 16th
notes to 1/8 (8th notes), for example, some of the 16th
notes will be aligned with 8th note beats, thus ruining
the track.
• Tracks displayed in small characters (preset) or marked
with an asterisk (* — no data) cannot be selected for
quantization.
EDIT — COPY
..................................................................................................................................................................................
Copies a specified measure or range of measures to a different location within the same track.
Use the TRACK LCD dials to specify the track
number, the TOP LCD dial to specify the number of
the first measure of the range to be copied, the LAST
LCD dial to specify the number of last measure of
the range to be copied, and the DEST. LCD dial to
specify the number of the measure to which the data
is to be copied.
Once the track numbers and measure numbers
have been selected, press the EXECUTE LCD but-
ton to actually execute the copy operation. "Com-
pleted." will appear briefly when the operation
has finished.
Immediately after execution an "UNDO" LCD
button will appear on the left side of the display, and
that button can be used to undo the copy operation
if it was executed by mistake. The undo function is
only available until the next operation is performed.
NOTES
• A copy operation overwrites the data from the begin-
ning of the specified destination measure with the data
from the source measure(s). Previous data in the
overwritten measures is therefore lost.
• The COPY function cannot be used with tracks con-
taining preset data.
