This function copies the currently selected pattern / pattern channel onto the
clipboard and clears the pattern / pattern channel in
Microtonic
.
‣
Copy Pattern / Pattern Channel
This menu choice copies the current pattern / pattern channel onto the clipboard.
‣
Paste Pattern / Pattern Channel
Use this menu item to paste patterns or pattern channels from the clipboard. The
contents of the clipboard will replace the settings in
Microtonic
.
(This menu item
is only available if a
Microtonic
pattern or pattern channel is available on the clip-
board.)
‣
Exchange Pattern / Pattern Channel
Exchange pattern / pattern channel exchanges the pattern / pattern channel on
the clipboard with the settings in
Microtonic
. This feature is useful if you would
like to toggle between two different versions of a pattern. Copy the first version,
change the pattern and use this menu to swap between the two different ver-
sions. It is also useful if you want to swap two channels in a pattern.
(This menu
item is only available if a
Microtonic
pattern or pattern channel is available on the
clipboard.)
‣
Export Pattern To MIDI File
This menu item lets you export the currently selected pattern to a standard MIDI
file. If the currently selected pattern is part of a “pattern chain”, the entire chain
will be exported.
(See
below for a more convenient method if you wish
to export patterns directly to your host sequencer for tweaking and arranging.)
‣
Export Pattern To Audio File
Use this menu item to export the currently selected pattern
(or pattern chain)
to a
“WAV file”. When you select this item you will be presented with a “save dialog”
where you can choose further options for the export. The choices for format are
16, 24 or 32-bit resolution and a selection of sample rates between 32 and 192
kHz. The 32-bit option will generate a so called floating point format with virtually
infinite resolution and no clipping. You are also given a choice of how to treat the
tail of the audio file
(i.e. what to do with the remaining audio after the pattern /
pattern chain has played its length)
. Select
None to simply drop any remaining
audio, select
Append to append the audio
(and cut the file after the sound has
decayed to silence)
or select
Loop to merge the tail into the beginning of the file
so that it works well for looping.
‣

(This function works on the designated length of the
pattern.)
To shift more than one step, use the
feature.
