Copying Phrases on a RM1X

Within each Style of the RM1X there are 16 sections which are labeled A - P. Each of these sections has 16 tracks which are made up of Phrases. It is possible to copy any of the Phrases to another Phrase, either within the same section or another section. It is also possible to copy a Phrase to another section within a different Style.

Once a Phrase is copied to another location, it can then be edited without affecting the original Phrase. However, if a Track/Pattern is copied to another location, any editing done to the copied Track/Pattern will affect the original, because it is pointing to the same Phrase data location.

The Copy Phrase function is useful for creating additional phrases of a similar type once a basic phrase has been recorded. NOTE: A Phrase can only be copied if the unit is in Pattern mode.
