The Drum Copy Function
The Drum Copy function makes it possible to
copy the parameter assignments from any other drum
element to the drum element currently being edited.
This is useful if, for example, you want to create a
set of pitched tom-toms. You can copy a single tom-
tom sound to as many drum elements as necessary
— complete with all necessary parameter settings
— and then simply change the pitch of each using
the TUNE function.
1. Make sure the drum edit mode is engaged and
that any function other than one of the EFFECT
functions, DRUM NAME, DRUM RECALL, or
DRUM INITIALIZE is selected.
2. Select the drum element to which the new pa-
rameter data will be copied by pressing the ap-
propriate key on the master keyboard.
3. Press the [STORE/COPY] key. The following dis-
play will appear.
5. When the drum element to and from which the
data is to be copied have been properly selected,
press the [ENTER] key. "Sure?" will appear on
the top line of the LCD.
6. Press the [+1/YES] key to confirm and actually
execute the copy operation, or [-1/NO] to cancel.
"Completed!" will appear for a few seconds
when the copy operation has been successfully
completed.
7. When the copy operation has finished, the SY55
will return automatically to the display that was
showing immediately prior to activation of the
drum copy function.
Next, select the drum element from which the
parameter data is to be copied by pressing the
appropriate key on the master keyboard, by us-
ing the [DATA ENTRY] control, or using the [+1/
YES] and [-1/NO] keys. The name of the selected
drum element will appear to the right of the
bottom LCD line.
