Pasting Rules
The location at which the cut or copied events will be pasted depends on the following:
▪
In any case the first pasted event will be quantized to the current Step Grid, and the fol-
lowing pasted events will retain their time offset to this first event.
▪
If you paste the events via the Paste command from the context menu of the Event area’s
background:
◦
The first copied event is pasted at the closest step near the mouse cursor on the time
axis.
◦
In Group view the events copied from the topmost Sound in the Sound List are pasted
onto the focused Sound. In Keyboard view the events copied from the highest pitch
are pasted at the pitch of the row in which the mouse cursor is located.
◦
All copied events retain their position relative to each other, both on the time axis and
on the vertical axis (Sound List in Group view, pitches in Keyboard view).
◦
If some of the pasted events go beyond the Pattern’s end, the Pattern is extended to
the next Pattern Grid division after the last pasted event.
▪
If you paste the events via the shortcut on your computer keyboard while playback is on:
◦
If you haven’t changed the Sound focus, events are pasted one step after the original
events.
◦
If you have changed the Sound focus, events are pasted at the same timings as the
original events. In Group view the events copied from the topmost Sound in the Sound
List are pasted onto the focused Sound, and the other events will retain their vertical
position relative to these topmost events.
▪
If you paste the events via the shortcut on your computer keyboard while playback is off:
◦
If you haven’t changed the Sound focus or the playhead position, events are pasted
one step after the original events.
◦
If you haven’t changed the Sound focus but changed the playhead position, events are
inserted with the first event starting at the playhead position. All following events will
retain their position relative to the first event.
