6.3.3. Copy, Paste & Erase Sequencer Patterns
In the previous chapter, we explained how to copy steps within a Pattern. In this section,
we'll explain how to copy and paste one Pattern to another in the same track, or to a Pattern
in another track.
Holding down Copy and pressing Pattern starts Pattern Copy mode. You know you're in
Pattern Copy mode when the Copy and Pattern buttons blink.
To copy one Pattern:
• Hold down Copy and press Pattern. Saved Patterns will blink in blue; Patterns
with unsaved edits will blink in red
• The screen displays “Select Pattern to Copy, Press Exit to Cancel”, inviting you to
select a Pattern or cancel
• Hit the step of the Pattern you want to copy
• Hold down Paste and press the button of the step where you want to save the
Pattern
If you want to copy a Pattern to more than one location:
Hold down Copy and press Pattern. Saved Patterns will blink in blue, Patterns with unsaved
changes in red.
The screen displays “Select Pattern to Copy, Press Exit to Cancel”.
Press the step button of the Pattern you want to copy.
The step buttons display the current state of the Patterns:
• Blue for a Pattern that has been saved
• Red for a Pattern with unsaved changes
• Unlit for an empty Pattern.
Pressing a step button activates/completes the Copy operation and stores the Pattern data
in the copy buffer.
Now hold down Paste and press Pattern. Again the step buttons will light up to display the
current status of the Patterns:
• Blue for a Pattern that has been saved
• Red for a Pattern with unsaved changes
• Unlit for an empty Pattern.
Keep holding down Paste and press the step button(s) of the destination(s) to which you
want to copy the Pattern. The content of the copy buffer will be pasted into the Patterns you
select. Press the Exit button to exit the Paste process.
