9.10.6 COPY, PASTE AND CLEAR OPERATIONS
Patterns, tracks, track pages, and trigs can be copied, pasted and cleared.
The active pattern can be copied to another location in the same bank or in another bank. To perform
a pattern copy operation, GRID RECORDING mode must be deactivated. Copy the pattern by pressing
[FUNC] + [RECORD]. Select another pattern, and then press [FUNC] + [STOP] to paste the copied
pattern to this location. Press [FUNC] + [PLAY] to clear all the trigs in the current pattern.
Individual sequencer tracks can be copied, pasted and cleared in the same way as patterns. To do so,
GRID RECORDING mode must be active.
A single track page may also be copied, pasted and cleared. It is similar to copying/pasting/clearing a
track, but will only aect the active track page. Select the track page of choice by pressing the [PAGE]
key. Copy by pressing [PAGE] + [RECORD]. Select a new track page and press [PAGE] + [STOP] to
paste. Press [PAGE] + [PLAY] to clear the active track page.
Trigs, complete with all parameter lock settings, can be copied, pasted and cleared as well. GRID RE-
CORDING mode needs to be active to access this functionality. Press and hold a [TRIG] key and press
[RECORD] to perform the copy operation. Paste by holding another [TRIG] key and pressing [STOP].
It is also possible to copy more than one trig. Press and hold the trigs you wish to copy, and then press
[RECORD]. Press and hold the [TRIG] key to where you want to paste, and then press [STOP] to paste
the copied sequence of trigs. When pasting, the copied trigs are placed in the same relation to each
other as they had when they were copied. The destination trig acts as the starting point for the sequence
of copied trigs. Clear trig locks by holding one or more trigs and press [PLAY].
You can undo a copy, paste, and clear operation by repeating the key presses.
It is possible to copy, clear and paste one or several patterns without leaving the active
pattern. To copy, press and hold [PTN] + [TRIG] key to select the pattern you wish to copy.
Then press [RECORD]. Let go of the [TRIG] key and then press and hold the [TRIG] key(s)
to where you want to paste the pattern. Finally, press and hold [STOP] until the count down
finishes to paste the pattern(s). To clear, press and hold [PTN] + [TRIG] key(s) to select
the pattern(s) you wish to clear. Then press and hold [PLAY] to clear the pattern(s).
9.10.7 TEMPORARY SAVE AND RELOAD PATTERN COMMANDS
Patterns can instantly be saved to a temporary memory space and then reloaded again from this space.
• To perform a temporary save of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [YES]. This is useful in order to
create a restore point when you are live tweaking, but without permanently save your changes.
• To perform a temporary reload of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [NO]. It will the reload the pat-
tern from when you last used the temporary save command. If you have not done any temporary save,
then the pattern will reload from the permanently saved state.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN and TEMPORARY RELOAD PATTERN commands are
great when improvising live. Any changes made to the active pattern, like adding bass line
notes or using CONTROL ALL , can immediately be undone. And at the same time, the
saves and reloads will not aect the pattern in a permanent way.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN command will not save the pattern permanently and
any changes will be lost if you load another project. If you wish to save your changes per-
manently, you should use SAVE TO PROJ in the PATTERN MENU. For more information,
please see “9.6 PATTERN MENU” on page 38.
9.11 CHAINS
Chains are sequences that consist of more than one pattern. You can use chains to preselect and automate
in what order you want your patterns to play.
