Editing A Part - Alesis HR-16 Instruction Manual

By scrolling through the list, any sslscted data can be copied lrom one track or part to
another. For example, if a track contained notes on many MlDl channsls that had been
prsviously combined together, copying only one MlDl channei to a new lrack would allow
the parts to be separated out again. Also, copying NOTES ONLY Jrom a track to itself will
etfectivoly erass all pitchbend, controller, program change, after touch, and system
exclusive data trom that track.
Copylng a SONG to ltselt
ln SONG mode, pressing and holding the COPY button will result in the lollowing display:
01 TO SONG
The 01 display will actually showlh6 currently selected song number. Like in PART mode,
pressing RECORD will append the current song to itself, making it lwice as long.
Copylng a SONG to anolher SONG
lf a new song number is selected, lhe display will show the newly selecled song number,
and pressing RECORD will append lhe sourcs song number (the number selected before
pressing COPY), to ths dsstination song number (lhe number selected while holding
COPY). This mode is very useful, since a verso consisting of more than one part could be
entersd into a song, and then appended into anolhsr song when needed without having
to re -enter lhe parts lor the verss. None of the eight track buttons will have any effect
when copying songs. The page up and page down buttons also have no effect when
copyrng songs.
In allcases, the copy is not executsd until RECORD is pressed, and will b6 abortsd if COPY
is releassd betor€ pressing RECORD. The COPY button has no effecl while a song or pan
rs prayrng.
