This seems almost too simple to ask but I can't get it done from reading the manual. All I want to do is copy the "Softhorn" style preset from the Jazz Orch Swing style over to one of the empty style preset locations (there are four) under Jazz Basic Trio. Dave McMahan, please advise what to do. Thanks

Hi,

My XP is packed up at the moment but it should work the same way as the keyboard version. Select the style you want to copy then press the Edit button in the Song Player/Recording Studio section. There you will see one option available which is Copy. Use the cursor buttons to highlight that option and press Enter. You will then have the ability to place the copy of that style into any of the User Style locations. Once you have selected the desired location press Enter and that should do it.

If not let me know and tomorrow I will set up the XP and try it myself.

Best Regards,

Dave

Hi Hank, and Group.

Here is how to copy the Style Preset "Softhorn" from the style Orch Swing to the style Basic Trio.

1. Select the style Orch Swing.
2. Select the Style Preset "Softhorn"
3. Press the STORE button.
4. In the STORE SCREEN use the right arrow key to select the Style Preset tab at the top right. YOU SHOULD SEE!

Name: Softhorn
Family: Trad
Style: 5 Orch Swing
Style Preset: 2 Softhorn

The ONLY things you need to change are the STYLE, and the LOCATION for the Style Preset.

Name: Softhorn. This is correct.
Family: Trad Just Ignore this. (no change)
Style: Orch Swing. Change to Basic Trio
Style Preset: Softhorn. Change from location 2 to location (5 thru 8).

Use the down arrow key and select Orch Swing. Turn the dial to the left until you see Basic Trio.
Now arrow down to Style Preset. Turn the dial until you see a number between 5 and 8.
Press ENTER.
There you have it.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Don P.

Dear Dave and Don P.: Dave, I tried your steps and nothing happened (BTY, I don't want to populate the user style presets but rather the empty style presets in the main section. Does that make sense?) Before I posted my request I was trying to do what Don P. described (per the manual on page 80) but was hung up on changing the family from Trad to Jazz and I couldn't get it to work correctly. I did what Don P. said and ignored the family setting and it worked. However, intuitively and as a computer geek, it bothers me that it should work. Did it mess up something else?

Hi Hank,

I can't speak for dave, but I don't think you messed anything up. I don't understand that function either. If you set it to say "Jazz", which seems logical, then in the Style section the Jazz styles do not show up. I'm certain Dave can explain.

But I've copied a lot of differents sounds to the Style Presets using the method I described and have not had any problems becausee I IGNORED the Family setting.

Regards,
Don P.

Hi,

Obviously I misread your original question. Sorry about that.

I will duplicate exactly what you are trying to do this afternoon and get back to you.

Thanks,

Dave
