Moving data within a part
(Move Data)
The Move Data operation lets you move the rhythm pattern
and motion sequence data of a part backward or forward by –
16...+16 steps.
You can use this when you want to change the starting location
of a pattern.
1. If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 9 (Move Data).
(Key 9 will blink.)
3. All of the part keys will blink. Each time you press a part key,
it will alternate between dark and blinking. Press the part
keys so that only those parts that you wish to move are blink-
ing. (You can select two or more parts.)
4. A number will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to select
the number of steps and the direction (positive or negative)
in which the data will be moved.
5. Press the blinking step key 9 to execute the Move Data opera-
tion.
To cancel without executing, press the Stop/Cancel key.
The Move Data operation applied to all steps of the selected
part. Data that is moved beyond the last step of the pattern will
"wrap around" to the first step. For example if 64-step data is
moved for "5" steps, the data that was in steps 60 through 64
will be moved to steps 1 through 5. Likewise, data that is moved
earlier than the first step of the pattern will "wrap around"to
the last step. For example if 48-step data is moved for "–3 " steps,
the data that was in steps 1 through 3 will be moved to steps 46
through 48.
With a setting of 3
The data of each step will be moved three steps toward
the end of the pattern.
