Renaming, Deleting, Copying, Merging, Purging & Converting
Programs
Programs can be renamed, deleted, copied, merged, or converted from Keygroup to
Drum type Programs and vice versa as follows. You can also purge (i.e., delete) all Sam-
ples or Programs in memory that are not assigned to any Programs or Multis.
1
Select a Program as explained on page 48, and with the program name
still selected, press the WINDOW button.
The Program window appears, as shown below.
2
To rename the selected Program, select the “Program name” parameter,
and rotate the JOG dial to open the Name window.
See “Entering Names” on page 17 for more information on using the Name window.
3
To delete the selected Program, press “DELETE.”
The Delete Program window appears. Press “DO IT” to delete the selected Program,
press “ALL” to delete all Programs in memory, or press “TAGGED” to delete all tagged
Programs in memory.

For the other functions, select the “Do” parameter and select “COPY,”
“MERGE,” “PURGE SAMPLES,” “PURGE PROGRAMS,” or “CONVERT,” then
press “DO IT.”
If you selected “COPY” and press “DO IT,” the Copy Program window appears. Select
the “New name” parameter, and rotate the JOG dial to open the Name window. Enter a
name for the new Program, and then press “DO IT.”
If you selected “MERGE,” the Merge Programs window appears. Use the ”Source”
parameter to select the Program that you want to merge with the current program. Select
the “New name” parameter, and rotate the JOG dial to open the Name window. Enter a
name for the new Program, and then press “DO IT.” The settings of the selected Program
are used in the newly merged Program. If you merge a Drum Program with a Keygroup
Program, the newly merged Program type is determined by the selected Program.
If you selected “PURGE SAMPLES,” the Purge window appears, displaying the number
of Samples in memory that are not assigned to any Programs in memory. Press “DO IT”
to delete these Samples.
If you selected “PURGE PROGRAMS,” the Purge window appears, displaying the num-
ber of Programs in memory that are not assigned to any Multis in memory. Press “DO IT”
to delete these Programs.
If you selected “CONVERT,” the Convert Program window appears. Select the “New
name” parameter, and rotate the JOG dial to open the Name window. Enter a name for
the new Program, and then press “DO IT.”
When a Drum Program is converted to a Keygroup Program, the Sample assigned to each
note is assigned to a Keygroup with the Keyspan “Lo” and “Hi” parameters set the same
as that note. Therefore, the converted Program will play exactly the same. When a Key-
group Program is converted to a Drum Program, each Sample is assigned to the note
specified by its Keygroup’s “Lo” parameter.
