Style Paste

When you record a Style as part of your song, the Style data is automatically recorded on the Style track. This data
is unique to the CP, and cannot be used with any other musical instruments. Additionally the instrument tracks that
are part of the Style cannot be edited individually.
Style Paste converts any Style data recorded on the Style track into MIDI note and event data and places it on
separate tracks (Trks 9-16). Once the Style data is converted into actual note data, you can view and edit the
individual Style tracks as if you had recorded the data yourself. Also your song including the Style can now be
played back by any other MIDI instrument that reads Standard MIDI File (SMF) format song data.
To use Style Paste:
Step 1
Touch STYLE PASTE while you are in the Advanced Recorder menu.
The LCD screen will prompt you for confirmation.

If you would like to proceed, touch the YES button, or touch the NO button to cancel.
Punch-In Recording
Punching In means being able to automatically start recording right in the middle of a track that is playing back,
continue recording new data on that track for a specified number of measures, and then automatically stop recording
at a specific measure and hear the rest of the track play to the end. This tool is very valuable if you wish to record
over some misplayed notes in the middle of a track, but would like to preserve the music in the measures leading
up to, and following, the trouble spot.
To use Punch-in recording:
Step 1
Select Punch In/Out in the Advanced Recorder menu.
Step 2
Touch the screen to select the options and change their values using the Dial.
Touch AUTO to have the CP automatically handle the punching in/out while you play.
Step 3
Touch the REHEARSAL button to listen to the song for rehearsal. If you need to adjust mixing or if you
would like to loop the song, touch the MIXER or LOOP ON/OFF buttons.
Before you use Style Paste, you need to make sure Tracks 9-16 are empty or don't contain important data. When the
Style is pasted, the data from the Style track will be pasted into these tracks and will replace any existing data.
NO : Cancels the Style Paste.
YES : Proceeds with Style Paste.
