sorry if its been asked already, but is it possible to copy samples on the 555 without resampling or using the backup save and load trick?? thank you sirs.

from pg.31 of the manual

You can copy a sample from one pad to another pad. This
lets you create another sample based on an existing sample.
If you decide to cancel this operation during the procedure,
press [CANCEL].
1.
While holding down [DEL], press [RESAMPLE].
2.
The display will indicate “CPY.”
3.
Press the pad for the copy-source sample.
4.
Press the copy-destination pad.
When the two pads have been pressed, [SAMPLING]
will blink.
5.
When you press [SAMPLING], the copy will begin.
6.
When the indication of “CPY” in the display has
disappeared, the copy is complete.
If there is not enough free memory to perform the copy, the
display will indicate “FuL” and the copy cannot be performed.
Never turn off the power before the copy has been completed.
Doing so will destroy not only the samples being copied, but
may also destroy other samples or the CompactFlash card.

thanks for the quick and in depth response.
