Instrument Clear; Pattern Copy - Yamaha RX11 Owner's Manual

Save the pattern memory contents onto a cassette tape
(see "CASSETTE OPERATIONS" section) to prevent loss
of patterns you wish to keep.
Pattern Clear (All Patterns)

Instrument Clear

An entire instrument can be quickly cleared from any
pattern by first calling the clear function by pressing the
CLEAR button from the pattern mode. The LCD panel
will read "CLEAR PTN XX?", as in the clear pattern func-
tion. Then if instead of pressing the +1/YES button you press
the instrument button corresponding to the instrument to
be cleared—we'll use RIDE in pattern number 01 as an
example, the display will change to "CLEAR PT01 RIDE?".
Press +1/YES to clear the instrument or
the clear function.

Pattern Copy

The RX11 permits two different pattern copy functions:
COPY and CONNECT COPY.
1) COPY simply copies a pattern from one pattern number
2) CONNECT COPY makes it possible to combine two
Both pattern copy functions are accessed by pressing the
COPY button in the pattern mode. When the COPY button
is pressed, the LCD panel will read "COPY ** + ** = **".
–1/NO to cancel
To simply copy from one pattern to another, first enter the
number of the pattern you wish to copy via the white number
buttons (the flashing block cursor should be located im-
mediately to the right of the first asterisk pair), press the
COPY key a second time causing the cursor to move to the
right of the second (append pattern number) asterisk pair,
without entering a number press the COPY again causing the
cursor to move to the last asterisk pair. Enter the number
of the pattern you wish to copy to, then press the COPY
button again to execute the copy operation.
To connect one pattern to another and copy the combined
pattern to a new location, enter the number of the pattern
which is to be appended to the first pattern to be copied at
the second asterisk pair. All other steps are the same as for
normal copy, above.
If a pattern is already programmed in the pattern number to
which a pattern or connected pair of patterns will be copied,
the RX11 will confirm your intention to write a new pattern
into that location with "REWRITE PTN XX?" on the LCD
panel. If it's OK to write over the pattern, press the +1/YES
button to execute the copy. Press –1/NO to cancel the copy
function.

to any other pattern number. This is particularly handy
when you want to add more instruments or rhythm lines,
or otherwise alter an existing pattern, and still keep a
copy of the original pattern.
different patterns into one pattern. One pattern is ap-
pended (connected) to another pattern, and the combina-
tion is stored in a new pattern number. With this function
it is possible to connect two patterns having different
time signatures.
