Copy
Source: Patterns can be copied from memory, or from a previously saved project on the SD card.
Project: If the source is SD Card, then the source project must be selected. Clicking on this
setting displays the file browser.
From Pattern: The pattern to copy from. If the source is memory, the number of bars in the
pattern, and (if appropriate) an empty pattern indicator box are displayed next to the pattern
number.
To Pattern: The destination pattern for the copy function. The To pattern is always in memory,
not on the SD card. The number of bars in the pattern, and (if appropriate) an empty pattern
indicator box are displayed next to the pattern number.
Number of Copies: The From pattern can optionally be duplicated multiple times when copied.
This option is not available when copying from a pattern on the SD card. However, after copying,
the same pattern can then be copied to itself to duplicate it.
Depending on the From and To patterns, one or two actions will be available.
Copy: The To pattern will be an identical copy of the From pattern.
Overwrite: Visible only when the To pattern is not empty. The existing To pattern data will be
overwritten. If the To pattern is empty or is overwritten, it inherits the length and time signature
of the From pattern.
Append: Visible only when the To pattern is not empty, and the source is Memory. The From
pattern will be appended to the end of the existing To pattern.
Append to Self: If From and To are the same, then the only option is to append copies of the
pattern to itself, thereby extending the pattern and repeating the existing pattern events. For
example, make a one-measure pattern into a four-measure pattern, set the From and To
pattern numbers the same, and set the number of copies to three. This functionality is also
available from the Pattern Length screen.
