2.6 COPY PATTERN

The Pattern Copy function lets you copy any selected Pattern to another destination in

it to create a new Pattern, while retaining the original Pattern. It is also useful if you want
to have the Patterns in a particular order in the RX17's memory (so that, for example,
you can easily play one Pattern followed by the adjacent Pattern, by pressing +1 YES
during play).
1. After selecting the Pattern you wish to copy, select Function 6.
2. Use the Numeric Key Pad to enter the number of the Pattern destination to which the
selected Pattern will be copied.
3. Press +1 YES.
You can now cancel this operation by pressing –1 NO, if you do NOT wish to copy
to the selected destination (if, for example, it already contains data). The LCD will
return to the Select Pattern display.
4. To copy the Pattern, press +1 YES. The LCD will show
