Copying a track
Here’s how you can copy a track to another track within the sequence.
1. Access the main page, and move the cursor to the Trk field.
2. Press the [WINDOW] key.
The Track popup window will appear. In this popup window you can edit the track name or copy/delete indi-
vidual tracks.
A Track name field: Edits the track name.
B Trk field: Edits the default name for tracks.
3. Press the [F6] key (COPY).
The Copy Track popup window will appear.
A Copy contents of Trk field: Selects the
copy-source track.
B Over contents of the Trk field: Selects the
copy-destination track.
4. Move the cursor to the Copy contents of Trk field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select the
copy-source track.
5. Move the cursor to the Over contents of Trk field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select an empty
track.
6. To execute the copy command, press the [F6] key (DO IT).
Hint: The event list also lets you specify a region and use commands such as copy and paste, just as in the graphic
editor. To specify a region, move the cursor to the Time field, then hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the
CURSOR [
π ]/[ † ] keys.
You can press the [OVER DUB] key to add note events or continuously-variable events (see page 25 for the pro-
cedure).
Hint: A track in which MIDI events have already been recorded can also be selected as the copy-destination.
In this case, the contents of the copy-destination track will be overwritten.
