Block Copy & Paste
It is also possible to duplicate a single effect block, including all of its parameter
settings, into any other User Program. This feature is called Block Copy & Paste,
and it is found in Type mode, Page 4. The concept is simple: first you select a Block
with the [< BLOCK >] buttons, and copy it. Then select another Block location
(even in another Program) and paste in the original Block.
To copy and paste a Block:
Recall the Program which has the Block effect you wish to copy.
Select the desired Block by using the [< BLOCK >] buttons to position the down-
pointing arrow above it in the display.
With the Block selected, press the [TYPE] button to select Type mode.
Press the [< PAGE] button once to select Page 4 of Type Mode. This display
should look like this:
COPY/PASTE BLOCK: C OPY
Press the [VALUE/ENTER] button to copy the selected block. The display will
momentarily read:
COPYING BLOCK...
Optional: Press [PROGRAM] and use the [VALUE] knob to select another
Program.
Select the Block position you wish to paste the copied Block into by using the
[< BLOCK >] buttons to move the down-pointing arrow in the display.
Press the [TYPE] button, followed by the [ < PAGE] button to select Type mode
Page 4.
Turn the [VALUE] knob to select the PASTE function. This display should look
like this:
COPY/PASTE BLOCK: P ASTE
Press the [VALUE/ENTER] button to paste the copied Block. The display will
momentarily read:
PASTING BLOCK...
The Block will now appear in the selected location. If another Block already
existed in the selected location, it will be replaced.
