Copy One Drum Pad's Part to Another Drum Pad
Merge:
When the destination drum pad
already has a pattern
, the source
pattern will be merged with the destination pattern. Note that if the two parts
contain events for the same pad on the same beat, only one event will prevail
and it will take the level of the source Pattern event.
Sound Stacking™:
When the destination drum pad is
empty
(no recorded
pattern), the source pattern will be copied and any drum sound assigned to the
destination drum pad will play the exact same pattern as the source drum pad.
This technique lets you stack multiple drum sounds together to create monster
composite sounds.
