Copying Patches and Phrases

Copying a Patch

Use  the  following  procedure  to  copy  a  previously  saved  patch  to  another 
patch location.

Select the desired source patch.
Press WRITE. The Patch Copy screen appears.
Turn the PATCH/VALUE dial to select the destination patch number. The 
display shows the name and number of the selected patch.

Copying a patch overwrites any data existing in the destination patch. 
If  the  destination  patch  contains  data  you  want  to  keep,  select  a 
different  patch,  or  back  up  its  data  to  a  computer  via  USB  before 
proceeding.

If  you  wish  to  cancel  the  patch-copying  process  at  this  point,  press 
EXIT.

Press WRITE. “Now copying...” is displayed during the copying process. 
When it’s complete, the RC-50 automatically returns to the Play screen. 

Don’t  turn  off  the  power  to  the  RC-50  while  “Now  copying...”  is 
displayed. Doing so can result in the loss of data you’ve saved in the 
RC-50.

If there isn’t enough free memory to copy the contents of the patch, 
“Memory Full” is displayed and the patch-copying process fails.



Copying a Phrase to Another Patch

The RC-50 allows you to copy a single phrase to a phrase location in another 
patch.

Select the patch that contains the phrase you wish to copy.
Select  the  phrase  you  wish  to  copy  by  pressing  its  PHRASE  SELECT 
pedal.
Press WRITE.
Use the parameter buttons to display the Copy Phrase screen.

Use the parameter buttons and PATCH/VALUE dial to select the desired 
patch and phrase destinations. 

Copying  a  phrase  overwrites  the  data  in  the  selected  destination 
phrase. If the phrase contains data you want to keep, select a different 
patch, or back up its data to a computer via USB before proceeding.

If  you  wish  to  cancel  the  phrase-copying  process  at  this  point,  press 
EXIT.

Press WRITE. “Now copying...” is displayed during the copying process. 
When it’s complete, the RC-50 automatically returns to the Play screen. 

Don’t  turn  off  the  power  to  the  RC-50  while  “Now  copying...”  is 
displayed. Doing so can result in the loss of data you’ve saved in the 
RC-50.

If there isn’t enough free memory to copy the phrase, “Memory Full” 
is displayed and the phrase-copying process fails.
