Editing Patterns (Pattern Edit); Copying A Portion Of A Pattern (Copy) - Roland Groovebox MC-307 Reference Manual

Chapter 5 Creating Your Own Patterns and

Editing Patterns (Pattern Edit)

The process of editing the musical data in a pattern is called
Pattern Editing. You can modify the content of the musical
data in a pattern, or combine various patterns to create an
entirely different pattern.
CAUTION: The data in any patterns you've edited will be
lost if the MC-307's power is turned off. If you wish to keep
the pattern that you created, you must use the Pattern Write
operation. (refer to Saving the Pattern (p. 83).)
Copying a Portion of a Pattern
(Copy)
A specific portion of a pattern can be copied to another
pattern.
Procedure
First, select the original pattern to be copied.
1. Press the [PTN] button.
2. Using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC] buttons,
select the original pattern to be copied.
Invoke the screen for executing Copy.
3. Press the [F3 (EDIT)] button.
4. Press the [F2 (TRACK EDIT)] button.
The screen for selecting Pattern Edit appears.
5. Press the [CURSOR (left, right)] button to invoke the
screen displaying "COPY."
6. Press the [F1 (COPY)] button.
The setup screen for the source appears.
Specify the pattern range to be copied.
7. Select the part to be copied by pressing the relevant
PART button, [R], [1] to [7].
8. Move the cursor to "FROM" by pressing the [CURSOR]
buttons, and then select the measure at the beginning of
the portion of the pattern to be copied using the
[VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC] buttons.
* If SETUP is selected, the setup parameter for the pattern is
also copied.
9. Move the cursor to "FOR" by pressing the [CURSOR]
buttons, and then specify the number of measures to be
76
copied from the beginning of the portion of the pattern to
be copied using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/DEC]

* If you selected SETUP in Step 9 and only want to copy the
setup parameter, select "-" with FOR.
10. Move the cursor to "STATUS" by pressing the

If you specified two or more parts as the copy source,
this step is not required. (They will be copied to the same
copy destination parts as the copy source parts.)
* By pressing the [RHYTHM PART VIEW] button you can
specify the MUTE CTRL PART.
13. Move the cursor to "PTN" by pressing the [CURSOR]
