exported with MENU + COPY. This will copy all data in the track(s), including settings, into the
PRESETS folder, i.e. they're not session dependent. This means that you can have a maximum of
sixteen tracks exported this way at any given time for all your sessions. The file names are of the
form COPYx(.V4T), where x is the relative number of the quick-exported track (1–16). Relative means
that if, for example, you have selected tracks G2T2, G2T3 and G2T4 and then quick-export them with
MENU + COPY, they will be called COPY1, COPY2 and COPY3, even though their “absolute” track
numbers are 6, 7 and 8.
One, some or all of the copied tracks can be pasted with MENU + PASTE, which will paste only so
many tracks as have been selected with the track selection buttons. The pasting follows the same
relative pattern as the copying, so that COPY1 will be pasted to the first selected track, regardless of
its “absolute” track number.
Note that if you first copy four tracks this way, and later copy two tracks, the first two of the older
tracks (COPY1 and COPY2) will be overwritten, but the latter two of the older tracks (COPY3 and
COPY4) will remain. If you then paste four tracks, you will get two “new” tracks and two “old” tracks.
Tracks exported with MENU + COPY can also be imported one by one from the EVENT page's PRESETS
menu (GPB14-15). Currently there is no way to delete files in the presets folder in the sequencer; you
have to do delete them manually from the SD card on your computer.
4.2.2. Clear, move, scroll, undo
Clear has a dedicated button on the frontpanel, while move, scroll and undo can be found by pressing
UTILITY.
CLEAR clears all layers of all steps in the selected track, even if they're beyond the track's set length.
Thus, if your track is 16/128 steps long, CLEAR will clear also the steps 17–128. In UTILITY Opt.
(Option #8) you can change whether the clear function clears (i.e. resets) all track parameters
(Complete Track), or just the steps (Only steps).
'Complete Track' spares the settings on the EVENT page, but settings such as set length, divider
value, FX settings etc. are reset to default values. 'Only steps' is probably the better setting for
normal use.
Move allows you to move individual steps to another position with the GP knobs. When you press &
hold 'Move', the screen switches to the EDIT page, and you can grab an individual step by turning the
knob below it, and then move it to another location if you keep turning the knob one way or the other.
Releasing the GP button will write the moved step into the new location, overwriting whatever was
there previously.
Scroll allows you to move sections of steps with the knobs. When you press & hold 'Scroll', the screen
switches to the EDIT page, and you can use a GP knob to grab a section of steps, so that the steps to
the right of the knob (including the one above the knob) will be moved together, while the ones to the
left will stay where they are. Releasing the GP button writes the moved steps into the new location,
overwriting whatever was there previously.
Undo cancels the latest paste, clear, move and scroll operation. Note that if your MBSEQv4 is using an
LPC1769 core, the undo function is disabled since firmware 4.089 because of memory issues! In other
