Drag to swap or copy drum sounds
In MainStage, drag the sound name to the target position (do not click a button or
menu).
The target is shaded as you drag across the list of sound names.
A standard drag operation swaps the two drum sounds (including Mixer
settings:volume, pan, mute, solo, and output configuration). Sequences are not
swapped.
Option-drag to copy the sound. Sequences are not copied.
Swap or copy drum sounds using a shortcut menu command
1. In MainStage, Control-click the sound name.
2. Choose one of the following commands from the shortcut menu:
Copy (Voice & Seq): Copies the selected sound, including mixer settings and all
sequences, to the Clipboard.
Paste Voice: Replaces the selected sound with the sound from the Clipboard but
does not replace existing sequences.
Paste Sequence > (submenu): Enables you to replace all, or individual sequences, of
the target drum sound. Sound parameters are not affected.
1 to 24: A single sequence replaces the currently active sequence (as set in the
Pattern menu) of the target drum sound. This enables you to copy sequences into
any of the 24 possible pattern locations.
All: Replaces all sequences. In situations where a sound only has several
sequences (not all 24 are used), “Paste Sequence > all” places these sequences
into the same positions; sequence 5 (in the Pattern menu) is pasted to position 5
in the target sound, for example. If a sequence exists at this location in the target
sound, it is replaced. If no sequence exists at this location, the copied sequence
is added to the target sound.
