13.2.10.2 Copying and Pasting Scenes on Your Controller
While the duplicating method described above is the quickest one, you can also copy a Scene
to the Scene slot of your choice via the DUPLICATE button of your controller:
1. Press and hold SCENE to enter Scene mode (you can also pin it by pressing Button 1).
2. Press and hold DUPLICATE (you can also pin it by pressing Button 1).
3. Press the pad of the Scene you want to copy. Alternatively you can select the Scene by
pressing the Page buttons.
The pad starts flashing.
4. Press the pad where you want to copy the Scene to.
→
The Scene is copied to the target pad. While you hold SCENE and DUPLICATE the target
pad starts flashing and you can further copy/paste it to other slots!
This procedure has following benefits over the duplication described above:
▪ You can paste the copy into the Scene slot of your choice — empty or not. If the target
Scene slot already contains a Scene, it will be replaced by the copied Scene. Of course
you can select the target slot in another Scene bank: After you have selected the source
Scene, switch to the desired Scene bank using Buttons 7 and 8 before you select the tar-
get Scene slot.
▪ If you activate Button 2 (+ PAT), the Clips of the pasted Scene will not reference the origi-
nal Patterns used by the source Scene, but instead use their own duplicates of the Pat-
terns! In other words the Patterns are duplicated as well. This can be very useful to create
a variation of a Scene without modifying the original Patterns still in use in the original
Scene.
▪ Last but not least, this command is also available outside the Scene mode: Simply press
and hold DUPLICATE + SCENE (instead of DUPLICATE alone in Scene mode) before se-
lecting the source and target slots!
