Data Copy within a pattern
Phrase pattern data (including motion sequence data) that you
create for a pattern of length 1 can be copied to the steps of lengths
2...4. This function is a convenient way to create a pattern that
uses similar phrases repeatedly.
1. Create a pattern with a length of 1, and Write it into memory.
(☞p.47 "Saving a pattern.")
2. At this point, the same data as in length 1 will automatically be
copied to the steps of lengths 2...4.
3. Change the pattern length to the desired length. (☞p.38, "Length,
Scale/Beat settings.")
4. The steps of lengths 2...4 will contain the same data as length 1.
Now you can edit the data of lengths 2...4 to complete the pat-
tern.
The data will be copied in a similar way when the pattern length
is 2 or 3 (refer to the table below). If you shorten a pattern you
create, the data will be copied according to the shortened length.

Copy Pattern data
The data that is copied automatically when you W rite a pat-
tern does not force the pattern length (1--4) to change. If the
length is 4, data will not be copied within the pattern.
Erasing part, effect, or delay mo-
tion sequence data
(CLEAR MOTION)
Here’s how you can erase the motion sequence data of a part, the
effect, or the delay in a single operation.
1. If a pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop play-
back.
2. Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 6 (CLEAR MO-
TION). (Key 6 will blink.)
3. Press a part key or the Motion Seq key of DELAY or EFFECT to
specify the motion sequence that you wish to erase. (The key
will blink.)
4. Press step key 6 once again to execute the Clear operation. If
you selected the DELAY motion sequence, both depth and time
will be cleared. If you selected the Effect motion sequence, both
Edit 1 and Edit 2 will be cleared.
If you wish to cancel without clearing, press the Stop/Cancel key.
