Copy not working

Post by Robken2000 »

Hi All,

I'm creating a jazz song and when I record the first four bars on track 1 for piano, and then copy that 20 times to the end of the four bars, it works fine. But then I record the first four bars of the percussion on track 10 and go to copy it exactly same way I did for the piano it says, song full.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers

Rob

Are you selecting the track to copy (in this case 10) and are you setting the start and end and copy destination of the bars you want to copy?

Hi,

Yes on both questions.

It was on track 10, and the selection to copy was from bar one to the end. There were only four bars recorded.

Strangely it works fine if I copy the first track, which is also 4 bars long, but when I go to copy any other track it says, "song full". I have tried this on track 2,3 and 4, it always says "song full".

Any other thoughts?

cheers

Just to eliminate something first: if you are copying 4 bars of track 10 when the song is 20 bars long, you need to specify the end of track 10, which is at bar 5. If you leave it set to END, it will copy track 10 at the end of the song, not the end of track 10.

I'm sure we can get this sorted, but need to go through a few things first.

I tried that. I also set the copy to bar 5 for track 10. Then it would only let me copy it once. 2 and above copies were jot available. Any more thoughts?

Cheers

Could you be filling the memory with controller data?

When I get in front of my FA later, I'll do what you are describing and see what happens.

I carried out the actions described in your first post with no problem. Are you still having the same issue? Perhaps resetting the FA might help.

Hi,

Yes, same problem still there. I will try resetting and see what that does.

No, not yet. I have another issue that I'm trying to solve now also. A corrupt SD card.

Will let you know if I sort it all out.

Cheers and thanks again.
