This was a rather unusual way to use the blitter. Usually, it would be used to copy screen memory around.
Fortunately, I noted that the ST note track is 256 bytes (or something) and was blitter freindly.

A simple blitter routine can used to copy memory from a to b for any number of purposes, but restricted to certain block sizes (binary restrictions)
