restore the Voice with your latest edits intact.
Copying another Voice Element to
the current one—[F3] Copy
From this window you can copy Common and Element/
Drum Key parameter settings from any Voice to the Voice
you are editing. This is useful if you are creating a Voice
and wish to use some parameter settings from another
Voice. When Current Voice (2) is set to on, you can copy
the parameter settings from an Element to a different
Element of the same Voice.
1 Voice as source
Determines the Bank and the Voice number to be copied.
The available parameters will vary depending on the type
of Voice currently selected (Normal/Drum). This parameter
cannot be set when the Current Voice (2) is turned on.
2 Current Voice
When this is set to on, the currently selected Voice (the one
you are editing now) is selected as source. Accordingly,
you can copy the parameter settings from an Element to
the different Element of the same Voice.
3 Data type of the source Voice
Determines the source data type including the Element
number or Drum Key. The available parameters will vary
depending on the type of Voice currently selected (Normal/
Drum).
Settings: common, element 1 – 8 (Normal Voice), key C9 – C6 (Drum
Voice)
4 Data type of the destination Voice
Determines the destination data type including the Element
number or Drum Key. The available parameters will vary
depending on the type of Voice currently selected (Normal/
Drum).
When the data type of the source Voice (above) is set to
“common,” this parameter will be fixed to “common.”
Settings: common, element 1 – 8 (Normal Voice), key C9 – C6 (Drum
Voice)
