System Edit mode contains the MP-2's MIDI functions (except Real-Time MIDI, which will be
discussed shortly), and system utilities such as the Copy and Swap Program features,
Memory Protect and Panel Mode.It is organized as a main menu which is navigated in the
same way as the parameter screens in Program Edit mode. Some menu selections have
submenus or additional screens.
Copying Programs
It is useful to copy programs when you want to modify an existing program and store the
edited version, especially if the original is a Preset which cannot be stored into its original
location. Programs can only be copied to User programs.
• Press the ">" button twice until this display shows:
Notice, that there are three arrows. This indicates that there are both preceding and
following menu selections, as well as additional screens.
• Press the "∧" button once to step to the second screen.
Note that there is still an up arrow in the lower right corner, meaning that there is still another
screen after this one, which will be accessed after the source and destination locations have
been specified. The source and destination locations are selected just as if they were being
recalled in Play mode: using the BANK UP, BANK DOWN, and number buttons.
• Press the BANK UP button and then the "2" button to select Preset 12
as the source location.
• Press the ">" button to move the cursor to the bottom row.
• Press the BANK UP button and then the "5" button to select User 5 as the
destination location.
• Press the "∧" button to continue the copy operation. The display will show a
confirmation message:
• Press the "∧" button to answer "Yes."
Preset program 12 has now been copied into User program 5.

NOTE: For most of the rest of the Tutorial, it is necessary to have a MIDI controller capable
of sending program change and continuous controller messages connected to the MP-2.
