Copying Events - Akai MPC 3000 Operator's Manual

Chapter 4: Editing Sequence

Copying Events

COMMENT: If the sequence is set to loop to an earlier bar (in
the Play/Record screen) and the copied bars are inserted
before the loop bar, the bar number specified in the
field will automatically be increased to compensate for the
insertion.
COMMENT : When copying from one sequence to another, be
careful to copy MIDI track data only to MIDI tracks and
Drum track data only to Drum tracks. Otherwise, keyboard
notes can cause drum sounds to play or vice versa.
This function permits the copying of all events within a specified
region of a single track to a different point in the same or another
track in the same or another sequence. In this function, only the
events from the source track are copied—no time signature or tempo
data are copied. Unlike the Copy Bars function, which inserts the
copied data into the sequence, thus increasing its overall length,
this copy function either replaces the existing events or merges the
copied data with existing events, without adding additional bars.
Therefore, in this function, the track's overall length is unchanged
after the copy has been executed.
To use this function, select option 6 (
EDIT key menu. The following screen will be displayed:
=========== Copy Events From ===========
Sequence: 1
Ticks:001.01.00-001.01.00

============ Copy Events To ============

A description of the fields and soft key follows:
• The Sequence field (in the Copy Events From section):
This is the sequence from which the data will be copied.
• The Track field (in the Copy Events From section):
This is the track from which the data will be copied. Enter a 0 here
to copy all tracks at once. If you do this, the lower
the Copy Events To section) will be forced to 0 also, because the
destination must also be all tracks.
• The Ticks fields:
These two fields are used to set the region of the track that will be
copied from, starting at the tick specified in the leftmost field and
including all data up to (but not including) the tick specified in the
