EDITING PATTERNS – COPY/SAVE FUNCTIONS
SAVING A PATTERN
The following operation will save the selected Pattern, including all sub-patterns (A, B and FILL) to a
specific location, overwriting any data which may already exist. Please note that you need to save your
Patterns if you wish to access them after you power-cycle the unit.
1. The XR20 should be in Pattern mode and stopped.
2. Select the Pattern you wish to save.
3. Press and hold the SAVE / COPY button, and keep holding
it down until step (6). The display says SAVE TO PATT.
4. Enter the destination Pattern number with the INC / DEC
buttons, number buttons or the VALUE dial.
5. Press REC (DO IT). The display says SAVE DONE.
6. Release the SAVE / COPY and REC (DO IT) buttons.
COPYING A PATTERN
The following operation will copy only the selected sub-pattern (A, B, or FILL) to another destination. If
the current Pattern is shorter than the destination, the part will be copied to the beginning, leaving the
remainder blank. Copying a sub-pattern longer than the destination Pattern will automatically lengthen
the destination Pattern (128 Beat maximum).
1. The XR20 should be in Pattern mode and stopped.
2. First, select a Pattern.
3. Then select A, B or FILL sub-pattern to be copied by
pressing the corresponding button.
4. Press and hold the SAVE / COPY button, and keep holding
it down until step (6).
5. While holding the SAVE / COPY button, press PAGE
RIGHT. The display says COPY TO PATT.
6. Enter the destination Pattern number into which the current
sub-pattern will be copied with the INC / DEC buttons,
number buttons or the VALUE dial.
7. Now select which sub-pattern you would like to copy the
data into by pressing A, B or FILL.
8. Press REC (DO IT). The display says COPY DONE.
9. Release the SAVE / COPY and REC (DO IT) buttons.
APPENDING A PATTERN
This operation adds the current Pattern, including all sub-patterns (A, B and FILL) to the end of a
selected Pattern. Note that Patterns can only be appended to Patterns of the same time signature (i.e. a
3 / 4 Pattern can only be appended to another 3 / 4 Pattern).
1. The XR20 should be in Pattern mode and stopped.
2. Select the Pattern you would like to append.
3. Press and hold the SAVE / COPY button, and keep holding
it down until step (6).
4. While holding the SAVE / COPY button, press PAGE
RIGHT twice. The display should say APPND TO PATT.
5. Enter the destination Pattern number where you would like
to append the original Pattern with the INC/DEC buttons,
number buttons or the VALUE dial.
6. Press REC (DO IT). The display says APPEND DONE.
7. Release the COPY and REC (DO IT) buttons.
