16 PATTERN OPERATIONS
PATTERN COPY/APPEND
FUNCTION то copy a Pattern to another destination, or append a Pattern
to another Pattern.
The Pattern Copy function lets you copy any selected Pattern to another destination in
the RX5's Pattern memory. This is useful if you want to copy a Pattern in order to alter
it to create a new Pattern, while retaining the original Pattern. It is also useful if you want
to have the Patterns in a particular order in the RX5's memory (so that, for example, you
can easily play one Pattern followed by the adjacent Pattern, by pressing the +1/YES
key during play).
The Pattern Append function lets you join any Pattern onto the end of any other Pattern,
to form a new, longer Pattern. The Patterns MUST have the same time signatures.
You could append several Patterns to create a long Pattern which could function as part
of a song. This would save on the number of parts needed to create a song — each
section of the song (verse, chorus, etc.) could correspond to a different Pattern. It would
then be very easy to re-arrange a song. You can even append a Pattern to itself, to
create the same Pattern played twice
OPERATION Operation of the Pattern Copy and Pattern Append
functions is slightly different.
e If the Memory Protect is ON, the LCD will show "MEMORY PROTECTED" when the
