COPY
Copying
a
PATTern
to
itself
The copy
button
is
used
to
append
a pattern or
song
to
another
pattern or song.
It
only functions while the
COPY
button
is
held
down.
If
the
COPY
button
is
released
(either
before
or after
the
copy
Is
executed), the previous
mode
will
show
up on
the
display,
and copy
mode
is
exited.
When
in
PATT
mode, and
COPY
is
pressed
and
held, the display
will
read:
COPY FROM
PATT
01
TO PATT
fll
Both displayed
pattern
numbers
will
actually display the current pattern
number
(00-99).
Pressing
RECORD
completes
the operation,
and
the display
reads:
COPY COMPLETE
This display
remains
until
the
RECORD
button
is
released, which then returns
the display
to its
previous
state.
The above example
demonstrated copying a
pattern
to
itself,
which
will
double the length of
that pattern.
Copying
a
PATTern
to
another
PATTern
To copy
a pattern
to
another
pattern,
press
and
hold
COPY,
then enter the
two
digit
pattern
number
with the
keypad.
The
display
will
show
the selected pattern
number.
Pressing
RECORD
initiates
the copy,
and appends
the source pattern
(the
current pattern before
COPY
was
pressed)
to
the destination pattern (the
pattern
entered
with the keypad).
If
the destination pattern
was
empty, then the
destination
now
contains an exact
copy
of
the source
pattern.
If
the destination
was
not
empty, then the destination's length
is
increased by
the
length
of
the
source
pattern,
and
the
source
pattern
is
appended
to
the
end
of
the
destination pattern.
All
voice, mix,
and
tuning
assignments
m&de
on
the
source
pattern
will
be
overridden by the destination
pattern's
assignments.
If
the length
of
the destination pattern
would
result
in
more
than
682
beats
after
copying, the
copy
will
not
be
executed,
and
the display
will
read:
TOO MANY
BEATS

pad
(CLOSED HAT,

example)
is
pressed while holding the
COPY
button, the display
will
read:
