Copy 1 Copy 1, 2 Copy 1, 2, 3, 4 These methods bulk copy certain operators to other operators. The purpose of these methods is to facilitate building voices with formants. Typically you'd arrange operators into identical groups of 8, 4, or 2, and then have the output of each group pass through a different bandpass filter to form a formant filter bank. There are only certain algorithms appropriate for this, and these methods copy the operators within those algorithms to form identical groups.
- Copy 1 Copies operator 1 to operators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. This is appropriate for Algorithm 1.
- Copy 1, 2 Copies operator 1 to operators 3, 5, and 7; and copies operators 2 to operators 4, 6, and 8. This is appropriate for Algorithm 67.
- Copy 1, 2, 3, 4 Copies operator 1 to operator 5; operator 2 to 6; operator 3 to 7; and operator 4 to 8. This is appropriate for Algorithms 69, 70, 71, 72, and 77.
Note that these three menu options copy and overwrite all the operator parameters, including those involving the (different) bandpass filters. This means that you need to set up the filter for each group, or set its output level to 0, after applying this copying operation.
