Copying individual Style tracks
The COPY function can be used to copy individual
tracks, Modes and Divisions to replace existing parts
while keeping the remaining parts of the Style already
in the Style RAM memory.
(1) Press the [TRACK¥EDIT] field on the STYLE COM-
POSER page, followed by the [COPY] field.
(2) Press the [Source] field.
(3) Select the Style that contains the track(s) to be
copied:
Selecting a factory Style
Use the STYLE buttons and the fields in the display to
select the desired Style. The blue field shows the
name of the Style selected as source.
Selecting an ‘external’ Style
You can also work with a Style saved in the internal
memory area, on a floppy disk or a memory card.
Press the [DISK¥USER] field to jump to the STYLE
FINDER page.
See “Style Finder: quickly locating Styles” on p. 95 for
the complete procedure.
Press the field of the Style you need (it appears on an
orange background).
Press the [GET¥IT] field to return to the STYLE TRACK
EDIT/COPY page.
(4) Press the [TRACK] field and use the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to select the track to
be copied.
You can also select “ALL” to copy all tracks of a given
Mode/Division. In that case, DESTINATION TRACK is
also set to “ALL”.
(5) Repeat this operation with the [MODE] and
[DIVISION] fields to select the Mode (Major, Minor,
7th, ALL) and Division (Int 1~4, Int ALL, Main 1~4,
Main ALL, FDw 1~3, FDw ALL, FUp 1~3, FUp ALL,
End 1~4, End ALL).
(6) Press the [LISTEN] field to listen to the pattern you
are about to copy.
Note: LISTEN is not available when you select “ALL” for the
MODE or DIVISION field.
FROM
Start by specifying the position of the first event (or
note) to be copied.
(7) Press the [BAR], [BEAT] and [CPT] fields in the FROM
row and use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/
[INC] buttons to set the position of the starting
point.
By default, the FROM parameters are set to “Bar 1,
Beat 1, CPT 0”.
TO
The TO position indicates the end of the excerpt to be
copied. By default, the TO values are set to include
the entire track.
(8) Press the [BAR], [BEAT] and [CPT] fields, and use the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to set
the desired position.
To copy an entire bar, select the beginning of the fol-
lowing bar. Example: to copy bars 1~4 specify “FROM
1-1-0/TO 5-1-0”.
(9) Press [LISTEN] to listen to the selected excerpt.
(10) Press the [Destination] field.
COPY MODE
Copying can be carried out in one of two modes:
In either case, the length of the destination track may
change to include all data of the source track.
Note: If the Style RAM memory already contains new data,
save it before copying. The E-80 has no Undo function. Saving
a Style before copying allows you to revert to the previous ver-
sion if something goes wrong. See “Saving your Style” on
page 207.
(11) Press the [COPY¥MODE] field and use the [DEC]/[INC]
buttons to select “Replace” or “Mix”.
(12) Press the [TRACK] field and use the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial to select the track you wish to copy the data
to.
Note: AccDrums data can only be copied to AccDrums tracks.
Likewise, you can only copy ABass data to other ABass tracks. If
you selected “ALL” for SOURCE [TRACK], this [TRACK] parame-
ter is also set to “ALL”.
Replace: The data in the selected range of the source track
overwrite the destination track.
Mix: The data in the selected range of the source track
are added to the data on the destination track.
