PATTERN COPY/APPEND
FUNCTIONTo copy a Pattern to another destination, or append a Patternto another Pattern.The Pattern Copy function lets you copy any selected Pattern to another destination in
the RX5’s Pattern memory. This is useful if you want to copy a Pattern in order to alter
it to create a new Pattern, while retaining the original Pattern. It is also useful if you want
to have the Patterns in a particular order in the RX5s memory (so that, for example, you
can easily play one Pattern followed by the adjacent Pattern, by pressing the +1/YES
key during play).
The Pattern Append function lets you join any Pattern onto the end of any other Pattern,
to form a new, longer Pattern. The Patterns MUST have the same time signatures.
You could append several Patterns to create a long Pattern which could function as part
of a song. This would save on the number of parts needed to create a song-each
section of the song (verse, chorus, etc.) could correspond to a different Pattern. It would
then be very easy to re-arrange a song. You can even append a Pattern to itself, to
create the same Pattern played twice.
OPERATIONOperation of the Pattern Copy and Pattern Append
functions is slightly different.l If the Memory Protect is ON, the LCD will show “MEMORY PROTECTED” when the
Copy key is pressed, indicating that Pattern Copy/Append cannot be carried out. Use
UTILITY JOB #03 to turn off the Memory Protect function.

out the copy operation) the LCD will show.
You can now press -1/NO, if you do not wish to copy to this Pattern destination. This
will return you to the select Pattern Mode, from which you can once again call the Pattern
Copy function, and select another destination.
If you wish to copy to the selected destination (re-writing the Pattern contained there)
press START again. The LCD will show “completed” and return to the Select pattern

same way.
5.Continue moving through the Song, entering Pattern numbers as desired. It’s a good
idea to keep a written record of a Song, as you edit it. Refer to the SONG/CHAIN
CHART at the end of this manual.
You can move backwards through a Song using the -1/NO key. This lets you go
back to check a Part. Any lime a Part is displayed, you can change the Pattern

Edit Song Mode. You can now play your Song.
INSERT FUNCTION
FUNCTIONTo insert new Parts into a Song.
The Insert Function lets you select any point in a Song that has already been assembled,
and insert new Parts between the already-programmed Parts. For example, if you want
to insert a Pattern between Parts 2 and 3 of a Song, this means that you have to insert
a new Part 3.l You can also insert Repeals, Tempo Changes, Volume Changes and Search Marks
by pressing the keys corresponding to those functions after pressing the INSERT key.
OPERATION1. Press PATTERN/SONG until the LCD indicates Song Mode, and use the Numeric
Key Pad to select a song. Then press REAL TIME WRITE/EDIT SONG to enter the
Edit Song Mode.
2. Use the +1/YES key to locate the Insert point in the selected Song.
3. Press STEP WRITE/INSERT.
4.The LCD is prompting you to insert a new Pattern number. Use the Numeric Key Pad
to do this. Example: Pattern 99.
The new Pattern has now been inserted. You can, at this time, change the new Pattern
number before exiting the Edit Song Mode.
If you use the +1/YES key to move forward through the Song, you will see that all
following Parts have been moved forward by one step.
5. Press PATTERN/SONG to exit the Edit Song Mode. 
						

							DELETE FUNCTlON3. Press QUANTIZE/DELETE
FUNCTIONTo delete parts from a Song.The Delete Function works in the opposite way to the Insert Function. It lets you remove
any Part from a Song that has already been assembled. For example, if you want to
remove the Pattern that we inserted in our Song in the previous section, you would locate
Part 3 and carry out the Delete Function.
You can now press -1/NO if you wish to cancel the Delete operation. The LCD will
return to the previous display.
l You can also delete Parts containing Repeats, Tempo Changes, Volume Changes
and Search Marks, in exactly the same way.
OPERATION1. Press PATTERN/SONG until the LCD indicates Song Mode, and use the Numeric
Key Pad to select a song. Then press REAL TIME WRITE/EDIT SONG to enter the
Edit Song Mode.
2. Use the +1/YES key to locate the Delete point in the selected Song.4. To delete Pattern 99, press +1/YES. The LCD will now show that the selected Part
(Part 003) has a new Pattern number. This was the pattern that was assigned to the
following Part (Part 004) prior to the Delete operation.
If you use the +1/YES key to move forward through the Song, you will see that all
following Parts have been moved backward by one step.
5. Press PATTERN/SONG to exit the Edit Song Mode.
PART COPY FUNCTION
FUNCTIONTo copy a selected number of parts to a subsequent point in
a Song.This function lets you choose a Part or group of Parts, and copy them to a later point in
a Song, or to the end of the Song. Any Parts following the copy destination
point will be cleared (erased). This function can really save time if you have programmed
the Parts for a verse, for example, and want to repeat the same verse later in a Song
You can copy the entire verse in one operation, instead of having to copy each individual
Part.For example, suppose in this short Song, you want to copy Parts 2 and 3 onto the end
of the Song.
23 
						

							24You can also copy to a destination BEFORE the end of the Song, provided it comes
AFTER the Parts which which are to be copied. Be careful! If you do this, ALL Parts
following the selected destination will be cleared (erased). This example shows what
happens if we copy Parts 2 and 3 to Part 4.
OPERATION1. Press PATTERN/SONG until the LCD indicates Song Mode, and use the Numeric
Key Pad to select a song. Then press REAL TIME WRITE/EDIT SONG lo enter the
Edit Song Mode.
2. Use the +1/YES key to locate the Copy destination point in the Song.

4. Use the Numeric Key Pad to enter the number of the first Part of the section to be
copied-a three-digit number.
5. The cursor will move to the next prompt. Enter the number of the last Part of the
section to be copied (if copying only one Part, this number would be the same as
the previous number entered).
6. Press START to carry out the Copy operation. The LCD will now display the empty
Part following the last Part of the newly edited Song. In this example, it would be Part 6.
7. Press PATTERN/SONG to exit the Edit Song Mode.
