3.3B Copy One Drum Pad's Part to Another Drum Pad
Merge: When the destination drum pad already has a pattern, the source pattern will
be merged with the destination pattern. Note that if the two parts contain events for the
same pad on the same beat, only one event will prevail and it will take the level of the
source Pattern event.
Sound Stacking™: When the destination drum pad is empty (no recorded pattern),
the source pattern will be copied and any drum sound assigned to the destination
drum pad will play the exact same pattern as the source drum pad. This technique lets
you stack multiple drum sounds together to create monster composite sounds. See
section 8.3: Sound Stacking.
1. The Performance Pad should be in Pattern mode and stopped.
2. Select the Pattern containing the drum part to be copied.
3. Press and hold the COPY button, and keep holding it down until step (7). The
display says COPY TO PATT.
4. Strike the pad to be copied. The display shows the pad number (e.g., D8 if you hit
pad 8).
5. Strike the destination pad that should hold the copied part. As long as COPY is held
down, the destination pad can still be changed by selecting another drum pad.
6. Press PLAY. The display says COPY DONE.
7. Release the COPY and PLAY buttons.
3.3C Copy a Single Drum Pad's Part to a Drum Pad in a Different Pattern
This copy function merges the source drum pad rhythm with the destination drum pad
rhythm in a different Pattern. To replace the destination rhythm with the source rhythm,
first erase the destination pad rhythm to be replaced (section 3.2C).
1. The Performance Pad should be in Pattern mode and stopped.
2. Select the Pattern containing the drum part to be copied.
3. Press and hold the COPY button, and keep holding it down until step (8). The
display says COPY TO PATT.
4. Enter the destination Pattern number to which the drum part should be copied.
5. Strike the pad containing the part to be copied. The display will show the drum
number (such as D2 if you hit pad 2).
6. Strike the destination pad to which the source part will be merged. Often when
copying to a different Pattern, this will be the same drum pad number as selected in
step (5). As long as COPY is held down, the destination pad can still be changed by
selecting another drum pad.
7. Press PLAY. The display says COPY DONE.
8. Release the COPY and PLAY buttons.
