I always thought that if you merge 2 tracks (with different parts)into one, only one of those trcks will be merged into the destination track
Example:
If you try to merge:
Track 1 (Right Sound 1)
with
Track 2 (Right Sound 2)
and merge both to
Track 14
Only Track 1 will be included in Track 14, because Track 1 was the upper source track on the Track Merge Screen. Thus the new track is assigned the same part as the upper track. [b]So why do that?

if you merge 2 tracks the destination track contains the contents of the 2 tracks. Whether the destination track is R1, R2 or Tr14 is immaterial since you can assign it to whatever part you wish, move it where you want, and use whatever voices you like.
The perfect answer for this question Larry was written years ago in the KN6000 book in one of the Programming Performance Pads exercises where 3 accompaniment tracks were merged into 2 tracks so they could be put in the pads where the limit is 2 tracks. Thus you gained a 2 track pad with all the information that had previously been in 3 tracks.
