Using Patches in PATCH Mode or PERFORMANCE Mode
===============================================

Quoting from the Roland Users Group Magazine (V14N1), page 71:
----------------------------
How do I duplicate the Effects settings of a Patch when I use it in
Performance Mode?

Follow the steps listed below to duplicate the settings.

1) Choose a Performance and assign your Patch to a Part.

2) Press DISK UTILITY.

3) Cursor to SOUND and press ENTER.

4) Cursor to COPY and press ENTER.

5) Cursor down to PERFORM FX COPY.

6) Set the SOURCE to PATCH.

7) Cursor to NUMBER and dial your Patch Bank and Number.

8) Press ENTER, then PERFORM.

9) Press EDIT (light on), then EFFECTS (2/10 under the display). If Palette
is lit, turn it off.

10) Cursor up to PART OUTPUT ASSIGN and set your Part to PATCH. (If you
must change Parts, turn the EDIT light off and use the Part buttons under
the display.)

11) Set the REVERB and CHORUS levels to 127.

12) Cursor down to EFX TYPE and set the SOURCE to PERFORM.

Also set the Part Level to 127 to get the "full" original volume level of
the Patch.

A _second_ appoach is to Set the OUTPUT ASSIGN, REVERB and CHORUS Levels to
127, the OUTPUT ASSIGN to PATCH and the PERFORM Source to the given Part.

However, there is a _significant_ difference between the two appoaches. When PERFORM EFX COPY is used, the EFX _and_ REVERB _and_ CHORUS parameters are all copied from the Patch. However in setting the PERFORM Source to a Part, the
REVERB and CHORUS parameters of the assigned Part's Patch are _not_ copied (in other words _only_ the Patch EFX parameters are used from the Part's assigned
Patch when the PERFORM Source is set to a given Part). And again the Performance
PART Level control needs to be set to 127.

For a "simplified" song template approach set the Performance Source to a 
given Part and then have its PART OUTPUT ASSIGN set to PAT, thus enabling
_any_ Patch assigned to that Part to use its Patch's EFX parameters
automatically _and_ at their used Tones level settings. Such Patch to
Performance Mode "sound" emulation will be almost complete except for
the Performance REVERB and CHORUS parameter settings. The next "template"
suggestions is to store syex banks of favorite EFX, REVERB and CHORUS
parameters as available utility bank libraries for convenient access.
