Using the Clipboard

Samples, Programs, and Multis can be stored temporarily in the Clipboard. By copying
a Sample, Program, or Multi to the Clipboard before editing, you can use the Clipboard
to compare your edits with the original. The Clipboard can also be used as an Undo func-
tion. There are separate Clipboards for Samples, Programs, and Multis.
1 To copy a Sample, Program, or Multi, to the Clipboard, select the desired
Sample, Program, or Multi, then press the CLIPBOARD button.
The Clipboard window appears, as shown below.
The selected item appears in the Selected Item parameter, and the item currently stored
in the Clipboard appears in the Clipboard parameter.
Press "COPY" to copy the current Sample, Program, or Multi to the Clip-
2
board.
The name of the item in the Clipboard appears at the top of the window. While the Clip-
board window is open, you can play the Sample, Program, or Multi in the Clipboard by
pressing the PLAY button, or by pressing a key on a connected MIDI keyboard. When
the Clipboard window is closed, you can play the current Sample, Program, or Multi,
allowing you to compare it with the Clipboard contents.
To load the Clipboard Sample, Program, or Multi back into memory, over-

writing the Sample, Program, or Multi with the same name, press "RELOAD."
The Warning window appears.
This works just like an Undo function. If the original Sample, Program, or Multi cannot
be found (e.g., it's been deleted or renamed), the Clipboard item is copied into memory
as a new Sample, Program, or Multi.
Press "OK" to load.
