Zone Parameters
Copying Parameters
5-18 PC88
Setup with the Zone buttons. Now press Copy. The display asks if you want to copy the current
Zone. If you do, press Enter. If you want a different Zone copied, press its button. Press any
other parameter button to cancel.
Now press the right cursor button. The display asks you where to paste the Zone youÕve just
copied. Press the button of the Zone you want to paste into, and press Enter. Again, any other
parameter button cancels. When you paste a Zone, the PC88 retains the destination zoneÕs old
MIDI channel, which is less likely to conßict with the MIDI channel you have copied. ItÕs a
good idea to set the MIDI channel of the zone before you paste into it.
You can also copy a Zone from one Setup to another. Copy it the same way, and then press the
MIDI Setups button and select the Setup you want to go to with the Select buttons or Data
Entry controls. Press Copy, and then the right cursor, and the display will ask whether you
want to paste into the current zone. You can select another Zone (with its Zone button), or not.
Press Enter and the deed is done.
Besides entire Zones, you can also copy the parameters associated with a single physical
controller in a Zone. The procedure is the same, except instead of using the Zone buttons to
select an entire Zone, select a single controller from the Controllers menu. Press Copy, and the
display conÞrms the controller youÕve selected, and the Zone itÕs in. Press Enter and all of that
controllerÕs parameters are copied. This information can now be pasted to another controller,
another Zone in the Setup, or another Setup.
To copy to another controller, press the Controllers button, and scroll through the list of
controllers with the cursor buttons (or use Intuitive Entry) to get to the controller you want.
Press Copy, then right cursor, and you can paste the copied values into this controller. To copy
the controller into another Zone, press a Zone button right after copying. You can also select a
different controller in this Zone to paste into. To copy into another Setup, press MIDI Setups
right after copying and select your Setup. Press the appropriate Zone button if the Zone you
want isnÕt current. Press Controllers, the Copy, then the right cursor. Paste away.
You can only paste information from a continuous controller into another continuous controller.
Likewise, you can only paste information from a switch controller into another switch
controller. Different memory buffers are used to store information during Copy operations
depending on whether youÕre copying a Zone, a single switch controller, or a single continuous
controller, so different types of copy and paste operations can overlap. For example, you could
copy a Zone, then copy a switch in a different Zone, then paste the Þrst Zone into another Zone,
then copy a continuous controller, then paste the continuous controller into another Zone, then
paste the switch.
In addition, there are separate copy buffers for Effects parameters and for Arpeggiator
parameters. WeÕll discuss them in the chapters on those subjects.
Here is a table that can help you keep track of what can go where:
You have copied: It can go:
a Zone to another Zone in the same Setup, a Zone in a different Setup
a Switch controller to another Switch controller in the same Zone, or in a different
Zone, or in a different Setup
a Continuous controller to another Continuous controller in the same Zone, or in a dif-
ferent Zone, or in a different Setup
an Effect from the Internal to the VGM effect in the same Setup, or to
either effect in a different Setup
an Arpeggiator to the Arpeggiator in a different Setup.
