track. In this function, only the events from the source track are copied- no
time signature or tempo data is copied. Unlike the COPY ALL TRACKS
function which inserts the copied data into the sequence, increasing the
overall length, this form of the copy function either replaces the existing
events or merges with the existing events, without adding any additional
bars. Therefore, in this function, the overall length is unchanged after the
copy. Common uses of this function are:
• Copying one track to another
• Merging (bouncing) two tracks together
• Shifting a track earlier or later in increments as small as one clock
To use this function, select option 6 from the EDIT screen, and the
following screen will be displayed:
A description of the on-screen fields follows:
• The SEQUENCE field (the COPY/MERGE A TRACK FROM section):
This is the sequence from which the data will be copied. The active
sequence number is automatically inserted here when this screen is entered.
• The TRACK field (the COPY/MERGE A TRACK FROM section):
This is the track from which the data will be copied. The active track is
automatically inserted here when this screen is entered.
• The FROM and TO fields:
These fields are used to set the region of the track which will be copied
from, starting at the clock location specified in the FROM field and
including all data up to but not including the clock specified in the TO field.
These are BAR.BEAT.CLOCK type fields, enabling you to specify the
region in units as small as one clock.
• The SEQUENCE field (the COPY/MERGE A TRACK TO section):
This is the sequence to be copied into. The active sequence number is
automatically inserted here when this screen is entered.
• The TRACK field (the COPY/MERGE A TRACK TO section):
This is the track to be copied into. The active track number is
automatically inserted here when this screen is entered.
