XL-7 / MP-7 Operation Manual Addendum

Paste Clipboard to 
Track

Once a track (or a section of a track) has been cut or copied to the 
“clipboard”, it can be pasted into another track or pattern. The Paste 
operation 

Merges

 the clipboard data with the data on the destination track. 

It adds the new information to the existing data with the start of the data 
in the clipboard placed at the selected bar position.

Because of the data merging feature, the Paste operation can be used to 
“bounce down” multiple tracks to a single multichannel track. 

See below.
