Editing the Musical Data of a
Specified Part (Pattern Edit)
The process of editing the musical data in a pattern is
called Pattern Editing. You can modify the content of
the musical data in a pattern, or combine various pat-
terns to create an entirely different pattern.
* The edited pattern is kept in the temporary pattern
(TMP). If you wish to keep the pattern that you created,
you must use the Pattern Write operation.

Write)” (p. 36)

Cautions for pattern editing
Pattern editing can be performed in Pattern mode
(when the [MODE] indicator is dark) when the display
shows the pattern select page (when the [PTN/SONG]
indicator is lit). It is not possible to enter the various
editing pages while a pattern is playing back.
Setting parameters
To use or modify the parameters, use [INC] [DEC] or
the [VALUE] dial.
Selecting the part
To select the part you wish to edit, press the appropri-
ate PART [1]–[R], [MUTE CTRL] button. The part
whose indicator is lit will be selected for editing.

If during editing you wish to return to the previous
parameter setting page, press PAGE [<].
If you wish to cancel your edits, press [EXIT].
Undo/Redo
If you are not happy with the edited pattern, you can
press the [UNDO/REDO] button in the pattern select
page to return the musical data to the un-edited state.
* In some cases, such as when a very large amount of data
was processed, the Undo operation may not be available.

Copying a Portion of a Pattern
(Copy)
A specific portion of a pattern can be copied to another
pattern. This is convenient when you wish to combine
portions of various patterns to create a new pattern.

* The pattern that was copied will be written into the tem-
porary pattern (TMP).
* If the copy source pattern has more measures than the
copy destination pattern, the number of measures in the
copy destination pattern may increase.
* It is not possible to copy between patterns that have differ-
ent time signatures.
* Setup parameters will not be copied when you execute the
Copy operation. If you wish to move (copy) a specific pat-
tern (without modifying it) to a user pattern, use the
Pattern Write operation to move the data. Also, if you
wish to copy a certain pattern to TMP without modifica-
tion, press [REC] twice.
1. Select the copy source pattern.
2. Press [EDIT].
The indicator will light, and the edit page will appear
in the display.
3. Press NUMBER [1] (COPY).
The copy setting page will appear.
