Composer- Copy from to - 01/30/05 05:09 PM

Hello All

At the composer menu:

I wany to copy one rhythm Tango from the rhythm group to the memory bank A1-4.

Is it possible to do it?

Afterwards, I want to copy the rhythm Tango back from the memory bank A1-4 to the rhythm group.

Is it possible to do it?

basically yes, select the tango, go to composer menu pattern copy, copy to A. Edit as you prefer. Now you cannot copy back to rhythm group, but you can copy to custom where it can be used exactly as if it were in a rhythm group, just with 20 styles loaded at a time.

Hello,

In the composer copy menu:

I only see the options to copy from the custome to the memory A1-4 and form memory1-4 to custom. I did not see any second page in that menu.

Can you please guide me how will I be able to copy the tango in the rhythem group to the memory A1-4?

Did I miss any screen?

Thanks very much for the joint effort!

yep, there's two functions. Pattern Copy allows copying from preset to composer and from composer to composer because composer is RAM area (memory that fades after you switch off and needs saving and loading from SD or floppy).
Custom Style Copy is from composer to custom and back again, a Flash memory area which needs a special writing function because the custom is permanent memory which stays there after switch off like a preset - until you choose to change it.

Hello,

At the composer menu - kn7000:

I only saw two directions for copying.

1. Custom to memory

2. memory to custom.

What menu does alow me to copy from the Tango from the rhythm group to the mememoy?

How do I get to that menu?

What did mean when saying copyig from custom to custom?

When saying preset, do you mean the Rhythm group that are preset from the factory?


Thanks very much fro shading light on this particular subject.

look again in the main Composer Menu, above the Custom Style Copy is Pattern Copy, that's the function for copying presets into composer and composer to composer.

Yes, preset is the factory styles which cannot be changed from the Rhythm Group. However you can copy any preset into the composer, where it can be edited in almost any way, then either saved to SD or floppy or copied to the Custom section for permanent storage.

So Pattern Copy is preset to composer or composer to composer. Custom Style Copy is composer to custom or custom to composer.

So to edit a preset and store it in custom you first copy to composer with the Pattern Copy menu, edit to taste, then secondly copy composer to custom with the Custom Style Copy function. If you think about the different types of memory involved, it makes sense... after a while

Thanks very much!

I will explore the detailed mentioned on thhe kn7000.

One clarification:

Copying from composer to composer, What does it mean? Why do we need this function?
Under what menu this function (copy from custom to custom) reside?

you can copy from composer C to composer A or copy any individual track between composers in Pattern Copy, extremely useful for editing.
There is no custom to custom direct function. You can copy custom to composer, then composer to custom. Or you can save individual custom and load it to another position.

Hi.

Guess this is a feature many of us will miss quite a lot the day we
don't have a Technics arranger keyboard anymore.
As far as I know there is no other brand who have this features and
certainly not the easyness of use when edit and mess around with the
styles/patterns.

Very True Gunnar - This was one of the main reasons why I got rid of my Tyros.....
Editing styles and/or voices ? Forget it A nightmare compared to the superb editing facilities offered by the Technics Range.

Thank you all for all the support.

I will explore it futher.

When copying composerA to composerC, What kind of edit can you do that will be a benifit for composer A and composer C for example?

What will be the advantages to copy composer to custom versus composer to composer?

Re: Composer- Copy from to - 02/01/05 04:01 AM

depends exactly what you want to achieve in editing. One reason might be on page 2 to copy a track from one rhythm into another rhythm, thus being able to mix and match tracks from different existing styles.

Custom is permanent memory, once there you don't need to save a style, only save if you want to overwrite it. Composer is temporary memory, you need to save before switch off.

Hi Alec

Excellent explanation.
You've almost enough for another book. I suggest everyone should print it off and
keep it as a written reference.
