Reference
This Job copies data in the specified measures of a track
for creating Arpeggio data. Up to 16 unique note numbers
can be recorded to the Arpeggio track. If more than 16
different note numbers have been recorded to the MIDI
sequence data, the Convert operation reduces the notes in
excess of the limit. Because of this, be careful to record
only up to 16 different notes when you create an Arpeggio,
especially when using all four tracks.
1 Range
Determines the range which will be converted to the
arpeggio data by specifying the Section (A – P) and
Measure (001 – 256).
Other parameters are the same as in the Song Job mode.
See page 206.
[F6] Pattern Jobs
This Job copies all data from a selected source Pattern to a
selected destination Pattern.
1 Source Pattern
2 Destination Pattern
Determines the source and destination Pattern by selecting
the Pattern number (01 – 64) and Section (A – P, all). If you
set the source Section to “all,” the destination Section is
also set to “all” automatically, with the result that all source
Pattern data is copied to the destination.
3 Copy Pattern Chain
When this box is checkmarked, Pattern Chain data as well
as Pattern data will be copied.
This Job appends one Pattern (1) to the end of another
(2) to create one longer Pattern. Actually, the Phrases
making up the source Pattern (1) will be appended to the
end of the Phrases making up the destination Pattern (2).
This Job is useful if you wish to connect different Patterns
together.
1 Original Pattern
2 Original Pattern and Destination Pattern
Determines the two Patterns to be connected by selecting
the Pattern numbers (01 – 64) and Sections (A – P)
respectively. Executing the Job appends one Pattern (1)
to the end of the other Pattern (2). The result of this Job
will be overwritten to the destination Pattern (2).
3 Keep Original Phrase
When this box is checkmarked, the original destination
Pattern data is retained in memory, along with the new
appended Pattern data. When the Keep Original Phrase
checkbox is checked, this Job requires twice the number
of empty user Phrases as the number of tracks containing
data in which to store the appended Phrase data. If the
required space is not available, an alert message will
appear and the Job will be aborted. If this occurs use the
Clear Phrase Job to delete unused Phrases then try again.
If the box is not checkmarked, the original destination
Pattern is erased and replaced with the newly created
Phrases.
n If this Job is applied to Patterns which use Sample Voices, the
Sample Voices of the source Phrase (1) will not be appended.
n If the Pattern length becomes greater than 256 measures as a
result of this Job, an error message will be displayed and the
Job will be aborted.
