Copying a phrase
You can copy a phrase to any other phrase number. Any
phrase at the copy destination will be overwritten (erased).
This is convenient for example to use one phrase as a starting
point and save it with different parameter settings.

From the main screen, press the [UTILITY/TRACK
EDIT] key in the display section.
The utility menu appears on the display.

Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the
indication “UTILITY PHRASE” on the display, and
press the [ENTER] key.
The display changes as follows.

If a phrase already exists at the copy destination number, it
will be erased and replaced by the copy source phrase. Take
care not to accidentally delete a phrase.
6.
To carry out the copy process, press the [ENTER]
key once more.
The phrase is copied. When the copy process is completed,
the display reverts to the condition of step 2.
Creating a phrase loop
Phrases stored in the phrase pool can be selected and lined
up in any desired sequence, and with any number of
repetitions. The result can be written to a track/V-take as a
phrase loop. When being written to the track/V-take, the
phrase loop is stored in the same format as regular audio
data, so that the resulting V-take can be used in the same way
as other V-takes.
Numeric input for phrase loop
When creating a phrase loop, the sequence and number of
repetitions of a phrase loop are to be entered as numerical
values. The keys and pads of the rhythm section can be used
for numeric input, as described below.
The basic rules for creating a phrase loop sequence are as
follows.
