Q

.  How do I get new patterns into the DX200?

 

A

There are a few ways. The most elegant way is via the DX200 editor that ships with the unit. This acts as 

a very cool, great looking editor and pattern librarian and makes it very easy to archive all of your patterns 
and songs. Once again, if you have a PC I strongly recommend you check this out. The alternate way is to 
use the MIDI Bulk Dump command, accessed by holding 

SHIFT

 and pressing button 15 (which via the 

SHIFT

 command is [MIDI: BULK]) and dumping all the pattern and song data to an external MIDI device. 

This bulks everything over. But if you just want to transmit and receive single patterns, the editor is the way 
to go.

  The 

SHIFT

 button is the magic button on the AN200. Note that the actual button is has the word 

SHIFT

 silk-screened on it in a black reverse-

style font 

KIND OF LIKE, THIS

. Holding 

SHIFT

 and selecting buttons with a function listed underneath a button in the same font style allows 

you to access those features.

  The one you just selected that does double duty as 

EVENT SELECT

 when you held the 

SHIFT

 button. So, do you get the point now? Buttons 

have double duty if they have shift functions silk -screened in the reverse font underneath them. Enough said.
