If Scene Copy Mode is set to “no swap”, the VP1 copies the element without

swapping the scene data.

If Scene Copy Mode is set to “confirm”, the VP1 prompts you to select between

“swap” and “no swap” before making the copy.

Concept of Swapping

• Here is a typical case in which you might want to use the “swap” option. Assume

that the destination voice consists of a single element (element 1), that the voice’s

initial scene is set to Scene 2, and that the element’s scenes are set up as follows.

Scene 1: LFO set for extreme oscillation

Scene 2: Normal sound (initial scene)

Scene 3: Low-mid range cut off; faint sound

Now assume that the element you want to copy has its scenes set up as follows, and

that it belongs to a voice whose initial scene is set to Scene 1.

Scene 1: Normal sound (initial scene)

Scene 2: LFO set for extreme oscillation

Scene 3: Extremely low, droning sound

If you copy the above element into Element 2 of the destination voice using “no

swap”, the resulting scene arrangement will probably be inappropriate. The

destination voice’s initial scene (Scene 2) will produce a normal sound for Element

1, but an unusual oscillating sound for Element 2. If you execute a “swap”,

however, the initial scene (Scene 2) will produce a normal sound for both elements,

while Scene 1 will produce an oscillating sound for both elements. (→
