4.2.7. Copy a Drum Track
Once you have the timing and dynamics exactly right for a certain instrument you might
want to use that track in another pattern, or maybe even double that track on another
instrument within the same pattern. The following procedures will save you the time it would
take to recreate the part somewhere else.
Note
If the time division of the target pattern is different from the source pattern then they will not
sound the same at first. You may want to change the time division of the target pattern until it matches
the source pattern. See
section [p.29]
for information.
4.2.7.1. Within a pattern
Let’s say you’d like to copy the Closed Hat track to the Tambourine track. This is a bit trickier
than normal, because you’ll be copying from a single instrument to a shared instrument
channel. But even this process is so easy that you’ll have no trouble with copying between
single-channel instruments.
Select a pattern with an interesting Closed Hat part and then follow these steps:
• Press and release the Copy button. The Copy, Bank and Ptrn buttons and all of
the pads will flash.
• Press the Closed Hat pad. This is the track that will be copied.
• Press the instrument select button for the Maracas/Tamb shared channel until
the Tambourine LED is lit.
• Tap the Maracas/Tamb pad. It will flash quickly so you will know the process is
complete.
When copying between single-channel instruments, simply skip the third step in the
process.
4.2.7.2. Between patterns
The process of copying an instrument track between patterns in the same bank is almost
identical to the one described above. We’ll only copy tracks between single-channel
instruments this time.
The following procedure will overwrite the Closed Hat track in the target pattern.
Select a pattern with an interesting Closed Hat part and then follow these steps:
• Press and release the Copy button. The Copy, Bank and Ptrn buttons and all of
the pads will flash.
• Press the Closed Hat pad. This is the track that will be copied.
• Press the Ptrn button.
• Select the target pattern by pressing one of the Step buttons.
• Tap the Closed Hat pad. It will flash quickly so you will know the process is
complete.
To copy the Closed Hat track to a different instrument in the target pattern, select that
instrument’s pad in the final step instead of the Closed Hat pad.
