Turn Soft Knob 1 to select one of the edit functions, then press the Soft Key to

select it. Each screen contains up to four elds that are edited using the 4 soft

knobs. Once the elds are set correctly, pressing the Soft Key performs the edit-

ing function.

1. Copy Sound

This copies a Sound (in any Beat) over another Sound within the same or a

different Beat. Enter the Source Beat and Sound, the Destination Beat and Sound,

then press the Copy Now soft key.

Note that while Pad Function is set to anything other than 16 Beats, the Copy key

can also be used to copy one Sound pad over another.

2. Initialize Sound

This initializes any Sound (in any Beat) to default settings. Enter the Source Beat

and Sound to initialize, then press the Init Now soft key.

3. Rename Sound

This permits you to rename a Sound (in any Beat). Select the Beat and Sound to

rename, use the Select Char and Edit Char soft knobs to enter the new name, and

press the “Rename Now” soft key.

Note that while this screen is active, the Page Up key becomes Insert Char,

inserting a new character into the name, and the Cursor Up key becomes Delete

Char, deleting a character from the name.
