Managing Songs
Copying a Song to an Empty Slot
To copy a song to an empty slot:
1. Press the SONG button to enter song mode.
2. Turn the HATS/RIDES encoder and select the stored song to copy (a stored song is indicated by a dimly lit
green, amber, or red LED).
3. Press and hold the HATS/RIDES encoder for ~2 seconds to copy the song. The selected song's LED will
begin flashing.
4. Turn the HATS/RIDES encoder and select an empty song slot. If a song slot is empty, the LED will be off.
5. Press the HATS/RIDES encoder to paste the copied song to the selected slot. Various LEDs will light to
indicate the selected options of the copied song, which also provides confirmation that the song has been
copied.
6. Press the HATS/RIDES encoder or SONG button to exit song mode.
Clearing a Song
To clear a song:
1. Stop playback by pressing and holding the FOOTSWITCH for ~2 seconds (or until the PLAY LED and KICK/
SNARE pads begin flashing).
2. Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for ~4 seconds (or until all the PART LEDs flash red rapidly), then release.
3. The song has now been cleared and is empty.
TIP: A song can be restored as long as the SDRUM has not been power cycled or any other operations
performed since the song was cleared.
To restore a song after clearing it, immediately press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for ~2 seconds (or
until all PART buttons flash green rapidly), then release. The LEARN LED will go off and the PLAY LED
will light to indicate the song is again available.
TIP: If the SilentClear feature is enabled, songs can be cleared without momentarily initiating playback.
See 'Enabling Count-In and SilentClear' on page 27 for more information on using this feature.
