Pattern Copy/Erase

This section explains how to copy or erase a pattern.

Copying a Pattern

The patterns in the RT-123 (preset patterns or user patterns) can be copied to a different user pattern
number. This is useful for example when wishing to change only a part of a pattern, such as changing the
bass track phrasing while keeping the drum track.
