Importing rhythm patterns
and rhythm songs from
another project
This section explains how to import all rhythm pattern
and rhythm song data or only a specific rhythm pattern
from another project that was saved on the SD card.
NOTE
The import process will overwrite existing rhythm patterns/
rhythm songs in the currently selected project. Take care not
to accidentally overwrite rhythm pattern or rhythm song data
that you want to keep.
1.
From the main screen, press the [SONG/
PATTERN] key to bring up the rhythm
pattern or rhythm song selection screen.
Importing of rhythm patterns or rhythm songs is possible
both in rhythm pattern mode and rhythm song mode.
2.
Press the [SYSTEM/UTILITY] key.
The rhythm utility menu for making various rhythm
section settings appears.
3.
Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up
the indication “UTILITY IMPORT” on the
display, and press the [ENTER] key.
The display changes as follows.
4.
Use the cursor left/right keys to select ALL
(import all rhythm patterns and rhythm
songs) or PATTERN (import specific rhythm
pattern), and press the [ENTER] key.
In this condition, you can select the source project from
which to import.
5.
Turn the dial to select the source project,
and press the [ENTER] key.
The subsequent steps differ, depending on which
selection was made in step 4.
• When ALL was selected
Verify that the indication “IMPORT SURE?” is shown on
the display. Then proceed to step 6.
• When PATTERN was selected
The source rhythm pattern is shown on the display. Turn
the dial to select the desired rhythm pattern, and press the
[ENTER] key. The import destination pattern then is
displayed. Use the dial again to select the destination
pattern, and press the [ENTER] key. The indication
“IMPORT SURE?” appears on the display.
6.
To carry out the import process, press the
[ENTER] key.
When all patterns/songs were selected, the rhythm
pattern or rhythm song selection screen appears again.
When a specific rhythm pattern was selected, the unit
returns to the condition of step 5. To return to the main
screen, press the [EXIT] key repeatedly.
By pressing the [EXIT] key instead of the [ENTER] key,
you can cancel the operation and back up one step at a
time.
