4. Press the pad of the target Sound slot (this can also be in another Group, in this case first
press the desired Group button).
→ All parameters of the Sound will be copied (including the Pattern content for that Sound
if you have enabled the +EVENTS option). The copied Sound will replace any Sound pre-
viously loaded in the target slot.
You will notice that once you have pasted the Sound, the target pad starts blinking itself, indi-
cating that it is ready to be pasted again to additional Sound slots: Therefore, to duplicate a
Sound more than  once, once  you have pressed  the source  pad you just  have to  press all the
desired target pads in a row.
Instead  of  holding  DUPLICATE,  you  can  also  pin  the  Duplicate  mode  by  pressing  DUPLICATE  +
Button 1. You  can then release DUPLICATE: Your controller will stay in  Duplicate mode until you
press DUPLICATE again. See section Pinning a Mode on the Controller for more information.
5.2.7 Moving Sounds
You can reorder Sounds via  drag-and-drop in the software. It  can be helpful to organize  your
Sounds more  conveniently.  Notably, this  allows  you  to move  your  Sounds  to  other  pads,  and
create a Group that is easier to play from the pads.
You can select multiple Sounds to move them all at once! See ↑5.1.3, Selecting Multiple Sounds or
Groups for more information.
To move one or more Sounds:
1. Click and hold the desired Sound slot(s) in the Sound List or in the Pad view.
