 COPYING INSTRUMENTS 
 
This page allows you to copy an Instrument from one Kit to an Instrument in another Kit.  (You can also copy 
it to the same Kit, which effectively stores that Instrument in that Kit.)   
Use the CURSOR UP / DOWN buttons to select the field you want to edit, and use the VALUE UP / DOWN 
buttons or VALUE DIAL to select a new entry in that field. 
 
1.
 
Press DRUM KIT to enter the main screen.

Press STORE.  A new page will ask you to select DRUM KIT (F1 
or F2) or INSTRMENT (F3 or F4). 
3.
 
Press INSTRMENT (F3 or F4).  A new page titled "Copy 
Instrument" will appear. 
4.
 
Make sure the "Copy" field is selected then select the trigger 
whose Instrument you want to copy. 
5.
 
Select the "From" field. 
6.
 
Select the Kit that contains the Instrument you want to copy.   
7.
 
Select the "To" field. 
8.
 
Select the trigger where you want to copy the Instrument in the 
"Copy" field. 
9.
 
Select the "To" field then select the Kit where you want to copy the 
Instrument in the "Copy" field.  You can copy it to any Kit, though 
there are 100 empty User Kit slots (#100-199) to choose from.  Copying an Instrument over an existing 
one will overwrite it.   
Note:  By default, the "Copy" and "To" fields and "From" and "User" fields will initially contain the same 
settings so you can quickly store changes to the Instruments in your current Kit.

  A window will appear asking you to confirm your choice.  Press CANCEL (F2 or F3) to cancel storing

slots (#75-99) to choose from.  Storing a Sequence over an 
existing one will overwrite it.   
Note:  By default, the "To" field will initially contain the same Sequence number as the "From" field so 
you can quickly store changes to the current Sequence.

 STORING TRIGGER SETTINGS 
 
Any changes you make to the parameters in the Ext. Trig Menu will remain for the current session but will 
return to their defaults if you turn off the module.  We recommend storing your settings when you change 
them so you can use them in future sessions.
