QUESTION: I have downloaded some Performance Pads. When I install them they individually go to USER 1 spot. How do I get three of them into User 1, 2 & 3? I tried Program Menus-Performance Pads- Phrase Copy to get the first loaded fron User 1 to User 3. But on loading the next it wiped out my new User 3!

Comments:
I had the same problem back in 2001 and Alec Pagida graciously gave me the answer to store 3 different pads sets in loading the pads. For example: in User 1 - Big Band Slow, User 2 - Big Band Fast, User 3 - Big Band Swing. All in 1 load of the pads. You condense the pads as follows: (Alec's Instructions):

Solution:
SAVE YOUR CUSTOM SECTION IF IT IS NOT THE INITIAL.
1. load file 3
2. copy composer A to custom 3
3. load file 2
4. copy composer A to custom 2
5. load file 1
6. copy custom 2 to composer B (change direction in the screen).
7. copy custom 3 to composer C
8. save a new pad file only (page 2 all off, pads on.)
now repeat the above steps for file 6, 5 and 4 in that order, then again for 9,8,7.
 

This is used in condensing a pad disk with 10 files down to 4 files or you can pick out the pads in the 3 user banks that would go with one another. It seems around about way of doing it, but it worked for me and hopefully it will for you.
