rightmost field. These are bar.beat.tick fields, enabling you to
specify the region in units as small as one tick.

• The 

Notes

 field:

This field determines which notes will be copied. It appears in one of
two ways depending on whether the selected track is a Drum track
or a MIDI track:

1. If the source track is a Drum track, this field is used to

select the specific drum notes, represented as MIDI note
numbers, that are to be copied. It cannot be accessed with
the cursor; notes can only be entered by pressing pads or
via the reception of external MIDI notes. When the
screen is first displayed, it contains the word 

ALL

 (copy

all notes) and the text 

(Hit pads)

 to the right. When

a pad is pressed, the pad’s currently assigned note
number appears in the field, followed by the pad number
and currently assigned sound name. On the right side of
the line is the text 

( 1 pad )

 indicating that 1 pad is

selected for copying:

Notes:36/A02-SNARE_DRUM    ( 1 pad )

If another pad is pressed, its note number, pad number,
and assigned sound are displayed instead, and the text to
the right displays 

( 2 pads)

. This continues until the

user has selected all of the pads he or she intends to copy.

2. If the source track is a MIDI track, two numeric fields—

used to set the lowest and highest notes of the note range
that is to be erased—will appear. Each of these numeric
fields is editable via the cursor and has a range of 0 to
127; the equivalent note name (C-2 to G8) is shown to the
right of each field. Alternately, these fields can be set by
pressing two notes on the MIDI input device’s keyboard.
The fields will automatically be set to the lowest and
highest keys pressed.

• The 

Sequence

 field (in the Copy Events To section):

This is the sequence into which the data will be copied.

• The 

Track

 field (in the Copy Events To section):

This is the track to be copied to. If this field can’t be changed from

0—(all tracks)

, then the upper 

Track

 field (in the Copy

Events From section) must have been set to 0, indicating that all
tracks will be copied.

• The 

Mode

 field:

This is a choice field with two options:

1. 

REPLACE

:

In this mode, all existing events in the destination track
are overwritten by the newly copied data.
