Moving the joystick down moves the block to a new parallel B path. See "Serial
vs. Parallel Routing" for details.

can, however, copy and paste a block from one path to the other. See next
section.
3. Press ACTION again (or ) to close the action panel.

Blocks from one path can be copied and then pasted into the same path, the other

ferent preset—and press ACTION.

NOTE: Inputs, Outputs, Splits, Merges, and Loopers can also be copied and
pasted. However, if you, for example, try pasting the Looper into the Split
block's location, Knob 2 (Paste Block) will be grayed out. Furthermore, if the
destination path’s DSP cannot accommodate the copied block, the header
will briey read “Cannot Paste—Path 1 [or 2] DSP full!” See "Dynamic DSP"
