Saving or deleting a phrase
About memory
The memory of the RC-20 is divided into two areas: phrase tracks 1–11 and
temporary memory.
fig.10-1
A phrase that you record or overdub is first stored in temporary memory.
The phrase stored in temporary memory is temporary, and will be erased when
the following operations occur. Before you perform any of these operations, make
sure to save the phrase in a phrase track if you wish to keep it (p. 23).
• When you turn off the power
• When you select a different phrase track
• When you begin other overdubbing before you save
If you wish to erase (
clear
) only the phrase in temporary memory,
press and hold the left or right pedal for two seconds or longer.
What is a phrase track?
A phrase track is an area of internal memory in which phrases are stored. Phrases
that are saved here will not be lost when the power is turned off. Also, phrases that
are saved here can be selected at any time by using the PHRASE SELECT knob.
The phrases that can be saved in phrase tracks 1–11 can have a maximum total
length of 5 minutes 30 seconds.
Phrase tracks 1–10: contain loop phrases.
Phrase track 11:
contains a one-shot phrase.
Write Protect mode
You can temporarily prevent phrases from being saved or erased. To
do this, press and hold the WRITE button while you turn on the
power. This setting will be cleared when you turn off the power, so
the next time power is turned on, you will once again be able to save
or erase phrases.
