9.3.6. Copy a pattern
Copying a pattern is possible only from within the current bank, so there is no bank selection
involved. The procedure will make a copy of a single pattern and allow you to paste it to
another location, even in a different bank.
The process is simple:
• Hold the Copy button
• Press the pad that corresponds to the pattern you want to copy. It can be a
different pattern than the one you're editing at the moment.
After copying a pattern you will probably want to proceed right away into the
process. That's described in the next section.
♪
: The copy process makes a copy of the pattern that was loaded into RAM along with the other 15
patterns in the current bank. If you have made changes to the pattern you plan to copy, be advised:
you are copying the
edited version of the pattern, not the one stored in the Flash memory.
9.3.7. Paste a pattern
The pattern you've copied is being held in a buffer, so the thing to do is paste it into a new
location. You can paste this pattern into the same bank or a different one; just be sure that
the destination is available (either empty or OK to lose).
This process is simple too:
• Hold the Paste button
• Select a new bank, if desired, by turning the Tempo/Value knob
• Press the pad that corresponds to the destination pattern location.
It's easy, and it gets better: as long as you're holding down the Paste button, you can make
multiple copies of that one pattern into the same bank by selecting several pads in quick
succesion.
9.3.8. Erase a pattern
There isn't a process by which you can erase an entire bank with a single button press,
which is actually a good thing. But the process of erasing a single pattern is so quick and
easy that, like saving the patterns, it will take you about 3 seconds to erase every pattern in
a bank.
So as soon as you're sure which pattern(s) you want to erase, do the following:
• Hold the Erase button
• Select a new bank, if desired, by turning the Tempo/Value knob
• Press the pad that corresponds to the location of the pattern to be erased
• If you want to keep going, keep pressing pads until they're all dark.
