1.4.3.4. Copy, Paste & Erase (Notes)

The Step Edit mode has an important new feature: copying and pasting notes!

Copy/Paste notes enables you to select notes in a step and copy them to another location:

• in the same step
• in another step
• in another step on another page.

The notes you Copy/Paste will retain all of their properties: Pitch, Gate, Velocity, Time-

Shift and Randomness. It's an amazing creative option that you can use to create chord

progressions and dynamic variations in a pattern.

To copy a chord from one step to another:

• Select a step that holds notes
• Hold the Copy button, the notes currently present in the step will light up in the

track color

• Press the notes you want to copy. Notes selected for copy will light up in blue
• Let go of the copy button.

To paste the selected notes into the same step:

• Hold Paste
• Press the key where you want to paste the selected notes.

The notes will be pasted with their original intervals intact.

To paste the selected notes into another step:

• Select the step you want to paste to
• Hold Paste
• Press the key where you want to paste the selected notes.

Again, the notes will be pasted with their original intervals intact.

You can repeat the Paste action as many times as necessary.

: It's not possible to copy notes that are OFF.

1.4.3.5. Copy/Paste & Erase (Pages)

You can copy a page (16, 32, 48, 64) to any other page.

Hold 'Copy" and press an active page. The page is now in memory: you can paste it to any

page of any pattern on any track. Paste it by selecting a track and a pattern. Please refer to
