Copying & Pasting Drums between Pads
It’s possible to copy a Pad with an assigned Drum and paste into another Pad location:
1. Select the source Pad.
2. Press [Ctrl](Win)/[Cmd](Mac)+C.
Alternatively, select “Copy Drum Patch” from the Edit menu or context menu.
3. Select the destination Pad.
4. Press [Ctrl](Win)/[Cmd](Mac)+V.
Alternatively, select “Paste Drum Patch” from the Edit menu or context menu.
Now, the complete Drum patch has been duplicated to the destination Pad and you can begin editing it as a separate
patch.
Assigning Hit Type to Pads
If you have assigned several pads to the same Drum sound channel, you can choose a different Hit Type for each of
the pads (where applicable). Depending on Drum sound type, some of the sounds can have up to four pre-defined Hit
Types. These Hit Types are shown in the Hit Type display.
For example, a Synth Hi-Hat Drum sound has four Hit Types by default: “Closed”, “Semi-Closed”, “Semi-Open” and
“Open”. By selecting a different Hit Type for each of the pads assigned to the same Drum, you can create a very nice
and “live” sound.
