The Pattern is copied to the target pad. The target pad starts flashing and you can further

copy/paste it to other slots!

This procedure has following benefits:

▪ You can paste the copy into the Pattern slot of your choice — empty or not. If the target

Pattern slot already contains a Pattern, it will be replaced by the copied Pattern.

▪ You can select the target slot in another Pattern bank: After you have selected the source

Pattern, switch to the desired Pattern bank using Buttons 7 and 8 before you select the

target Pattern slot.

▪ Last but not least, this command is also available outside the Pattern mode: Simply press

and hold DUPLICATE + PATTERN (instead of DUPLICATE alone in Pattern mode) before

selecting the source and target slots!

Please note that the copy-paste described here affects the Pattern as a whole. You can also

copy-paste particular events within the Pattern or between Patterns. See ↑7.4.4, Editing

Selected Events/Notes for more on this.

7.7.9 Moving Patterns

You can reorder Patterns via drag and drop in the software. It can be helpful to organize your

Patterns more conveniently (e.g., to bring together variations of the same rhythm).

To move Patterns:

1. Open the Pattern Manager (see ↑7.7.1, The Pattern Manager and Pattern Mode).

2. If necessary, select the Pattern bank containing the desired Pattern by clicking its pad

grid on the right.

The selected Pattern bank is surrounded by a white border and its Patterns appear in the

list on the left.

3. Click and hold the Pattern slot or the corresponding cell in the pad grid.
