Copying A Song To Itself; Copying A Song To Another Song - Alesis HR-16 Instruction Manual

Th€ display is now waiting for a second drum pad lo b€ Press€d (pressing RECORD
at lhis point will .do nothing). lf for example, TOM 1 was pressed, lhe display
would read:
COPY FROM PATT
CLS HAT > IOM 1
The display of th€ s€cond pad pressed remains underlined, indicaling that it can
still be changed by selecting anolh€r drum pad. As in copying pallerns, once
RECORD is pressed, the copy will be compl€te, and tho display will read
'COPY
COMPLETE."
Th€ length of th€ rhythm of the destination pad will not be changed, and the source
drum rhvlhm will be merged with the destination drum rhythm. The dsstination
drum will remain assigned to its previous voice, mix, and tuning. A drum from
one patt€rn can be copied to a drum of another pattern if the destination pattern
is selecled before selecting tho sourc€ and d€stination drum buttons.
Copylng a SONG to ltselt
In SONG mode, pressing and holding the COPY button will result in the following
display:
COPYFROI\,ISONG
01 TO SONG
The 01 display will actually show the curr€ntly selecl€d song number. Like in
PATT mode, pressing RECORD will append the current song to itself, making il
twic€ as long.
Copylng a SONG to another SONG
lf a n€w song number is selected, the display will show the newly selected song
number, and pressing RECORD will append lhe source song numb€r (the number
selecled b€for6 pressing coPY), lo th€ deslination song number (the numb€r
selected whilo holding COPY).
This mode is very useful, since a verse consisting of more than one pattern could
b€ €ntered into a song, and then appended into anoth€r song when n€eded without
having to re-enter th€ patterns for ths v€rs€. lf lhe destination song would
resull in more than 255 steps alter copying, th€ copy will not be ex€cuted, and
the display will r€ad:
TOOMANYSTEPS
ln all cases, the copy is nol execuled until RECORD is pressed, and will be aborted
if COPY is released before pressing RECORD. The COPY button has no €ffect while
a song or pattern is playing.
