▪ If you paste the events via the shortcut on your computer keyboard while playback is off:
◦ If you haven’t changed the Sound focus or the playhead position, events are pasted
one step after the original events.
◦ If you haven’t changed the Sound focus but changed the playhead position, events are
inserted with the first event starting at the playhead position. All following events will
retain their position relative to the first event.
◦ If you have changed the Sound focus without changing the playhead position, events
are inserted at the same timings as the original events. In Group view the events cop-
ied from the topmost Sound in the Sound List are pasted onto the focused Sound, and
the other events will retain their vertical position relative to these topmost events.
◦ 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 ↑11.1.4, 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 ↑11.1.5, 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.
