User Manual

◦ If you have changed both the Sound focus and the playhead position (e.g., by clicking
in the timeline above the Event area, see section ↑10.1.4, Jumping to Another Play-
back Position in the Pattern), events are inserted with the first event starting at the
playhead position. In Group view the events copied from the topmost Sound in the
Sound List are pasted onto the focused Sound, and all copied events retain their posi-
tion relative to each other, both on the time axis and on the vertical axis (Sound List
in Group view, pitches in Keyboard view).
Cut, Copy, and Paste Events/Notes on Your Controller
To copy and paste selected events from your controller:
1. To copy the selected events, press SHIFT + pad 11 (COPY).
2. If you want to cut the selected events before pasting them, press SHIFT + pad 9 (CLEAR)
to delete the original events.
3. To paste them, press SHIFT + pad 12 (PASTE).
→ The events will be pasted according to the same rules as when using the keyboard short-
cuts in the software (see above). If no event is selected, all displayed events will be af-
fected: in Keyboard view these are all events of the focused Sound; in Group view these
are all events of all Sounds within the Group (see section ↑10.1.5, Group View and Key-
board View for more information on Group view and Keyboard view).
You can also copy events from one Pattern to another: to do this, copy the selected
events, select the Pattern you want to copy them to and then paste them.
10.4.7 Quantizing Events/Notes
Quantization is the process of moving events to the closest steps. You can quantize your notes
at any time, no matter how you recorded them. They will be quantized according to the step
size (i.e. Step Grid resolution) selected. If you turn the Step Grid off, no quantization will be
applied. See section ↑10.1.7, Adjusting the Step Grid and the Nudge Grid above for more in-
formation on the Step Grid and the step size.
There are two strengths of quantization:
