VA-76 – Copying existing Styles
7. Press the [Listen] field to listen to the excerpt you
are about to copy.
Note: Listen is not available when you select ALL for one of
the above entries.
From
Start by specifying the position of the first event (or
note) of the source track to be copied.
8. Press the [Bar], [Beat], or [CPT] field in the From
row and use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to set the Bar,
Beat and CPT units respectively.
By default, the From parameters are set to “Bar 1, Beat
1, CPT 0”.
You can also choose to copy only those notes that you
need, in which case, the Beat and CPT parameters will
help you select a starting point that lies behind the
first beat of the track you wish to copy.
To
The To position indicates the end of the excerpt to be
copied. By default, the To values are set to include the
entire track.
9. Press the [Bar], [Beat], or [CPT] field and use the
[TEMPO/DATA] dial to set the Bar, Beat and CPT
units respectively.
If you wish to copy an entire bar, select the Bar-Beat-
CPT “0” value of the next bar, i.e. to copy bars 1~4
specify “From 1-1-0/To 5-1-0”.
10. Press [Listen] to listen to the excerpt again.
11. Press the [Destination] field.
Copy mode
Copying can be carried out in one of two modes:
Replace— The data in the selected range will be cop-
ied and overwrite all data of the destination track in
the selected source track range.
Merge— The data in the selected range will be added
to any existing data on the destination track.
In either case, the length of the destination track may
change to include all data of the source track.
Note: If the Style RAM memory already contains new data,
save it to disk before copying. The VA-76 has no Undo func-
tion. Saving a Style to disk before copying will allow you to
load the previous version in case something goes wrong. See
“Saving your Style to disk” on page 170.
12. Press the Mode [Replace] or [Merge] field.
13. Press the [Track] field and use the [TEMPO/
DATA] dial to select the track you wish to copy the
data to.
Note: It is impossible to copy ADrums data to other tracks
than ADrums tracks. Likewise, you cannot copy ABass data
to other tracks than ABass tracks.
14. Repeat this operation with the [Mode], [Type] and
[Division] fields to select the Mode (Maj, Min, 7th,
ALL), the Type (Bsc, Adv, ALL), and the Division (Or,
Va, Fo, Fv, In, Ed, ALL).
15. Press the [Listen] field to listen to the track you are
about to copy to.
The Into position indicates the beginning of the
excerpt you are about to copy. To copy the source data
to the beginning of the selected track, select Bar= 1,
Beat= 1, and CPT= 0.
16. Press the [Bar], [Beat], or [CPT] field and use the
[TEMPO/DATA] dial to set the Bar, Beat and CPT
units respectively.
17. Press the [Times] field and use the [TEMPO/
DATA] dial or the [DATA] button/Numeric Entry pad
to specify the number of copies to be made. Select “1”
if the excerpt is to be copied only once.
18. Press the [EXECUTE] field to copy the data.
The animated clock tells you that the data are being
copied.
To use another Style on disk…
Here’s how to use a Style on the inserted floppy or
Zip disk:
a) Press the [Disk User] field. This takes you to a
familiar page. See “Disk User” on page 61 for what
to do now.
b) After loading the desired Style, press the [oBack]
field to return to the User Style Composer.
