If you want to copy a Sound more than once, just keep on choosing Paste from the context
menu on other Sound slots: the source Sound stays in the clipboard, ready for the next use!
4.2.6.1 Duplicating Sounds on Your Controller
On your controller in Control mode, do the following to copy a Sound from one pad to another:
1. Press and hold DUPLICATE.
2. If you want to duplicate a Sound including its Pattern content, enable the + EVNT option
(Button 2).
3. Press the pad of the Sound you want to copy.
The pad of the Sound starts blinking.
4. Press the pad of the target Sound slot (this can also be in another Group, in this case first
press the desired Group button).
→
All parameters of the Sound will be copied (including the Pattern content for that Sound
if you have enabled the + EVNT option). The copied Sound will replace any Sound previ-
ously loaded in the target slot.
You will notice that once you have pasted the Sound, the target pad starts blinking itself, indi-
cating that it is ready to be pasted again to additional Sound slots: Therefore, to duplicate a
Sound more than once, once you have pressed the source pad you just have to press all the
desired target pads in a row.
Instead of holding DUPLICATE, you can also pin the Duplicate mode by pressing DUPLI-
CATE + Button 1. You can then release DUPLICATE: Your controller will stay in Duplicate
mode until you press DUPLICATE again. See section ↑2.3.5, Pinning a Mode on Your Con-
troller for more information.
4.2.7 Moving Sounds
You can reorder Sounds via drag-and-drop in the software. It can be helpful to organize your
Sounds more conveniently. Notably, this allows you to move your Sounds to other pads, and
create a Group that is easier to play from the pads.
You can select multiple Sounds to move them all at once! See ↑4.1.3, Selecting Multiple
Sounds or Groups for more information.
To move one or more Sounds:
