The currently selected pattern (user pattern or preset pattern) can be copied to any other user pattern number. This is useful for example when wishing to change only a part of a pattern, or to add a fill-in phrase.
1. In pattern mode, select the pattern to be used as copy source.
The copy source can be either a preset pattern or a user pattern, but an empty user pattern (where "E" is shown on the right side of the display) cannot be selected as copy source.
2. Press the [INSERT/COPY] key.
The [INSERT/COPY] key flashes and the current pattern is selected as copy source. When the copy source is a user pattern, the indication "CoPy" flashes on the display.
When the copy source is a preset pattern, a user pattern with the same number as the source is selected and flashes.
3. Use the [VALUE +/-] keys to select a user pattern (U01 – U99) as copy target.
Only user patterns can be selected as copy targets.
• When the copy is executed, the existing contents of the user pattern selected as copy target will be erased. Make sure that the pattern you have selected is one that you don't mind erasing.
• When the copy source is a user pattern, the same pattern is first selected after step 2. However, it is not possible to copy a pattern onto itself.
4. To execute the copy process, press the [INSERT/COPY] key. To cancel the process, press the [STOP] key.
When copying is completed, the unit returns to the pattern mode with the copy target pattern being selected. If copying was canceled, the unit returns to the pattern mode with the copy source pattern being selected.
