Copying Regions
To copy Regions to another point in the song, or to other tracks, hold down Option
while moving the Region.
Note: Holding Option-Shift while moving a MIDI Region allows you to create an Alias
(see “Aliases” on page 155) of it.
If Hyper Draw is enabled for the Region, you’ll need to grab above the blue area in
order to copy it.
Note: Copy/paste and Option-drag create a independent copy of the Region. This copy
will not reflect changes made in the original Region. If you want this type of behavior,
make use of the Loop parameter.
Making Multiple Copies of Regions
The Region > Repeat Regions menu allows you to repeat one or more selected Regions.
The repetition always starts at the end of the Region itself, or at the end of the last
(along the time line) Region.
Number of Copies
This is where you enter the number of copies (excluding the original).
Adjustment
Used to determine whether you want a copy to begin exactly at the end of the original
or the previous copy (setting: None), or whether you want the startpoint to be
“quantized”. In most cases, the Auto setting will be suitable.
“as”
This parameter determines whether the repeats are copies or aliases of the original.
There’s an even more extensive copy function that is strictly for MIDI events, called
Copy MIDI Events. For more on this, check out “Copying Events Selectively” on page 168.
