Note the following important points:
D This operation will not work if both zones have full velocity ranges.
At least one of the zones must have a partial velocity range (see “Setting crossfading for a Zone”).
D This operation will not work if the zones are completely overlapping.
Copy Loop to Track
This menu item is used for the Dr. Octo Rex loop player device. To be able to make your REX loop start at the same
time as other sequencer or pattern data, you “convert” the slices in the loop to note clips in the sequencer:
1. Select the sequencer track for the Dr.Rex device.
2. Set the locators to encompass the section you want to fill with REX clips.
You may want to make sure that this area doesn’t contain any note clips already, to avoid overlapping clips.
3. Select desired Loop Slot in the Dr. Octo Rex player.
4. Pull down the Edit menu and select “Copy Loop to Track”.
Now, the program will create a note for each slice, positioned according to the timing of the slices. The notes will
be laid out in semitone steps, with the first note on C1, the second on C#1 and so on, with one semitone for each
slice. If the range between the locators is longer than the loop length, the loop notes will be repeated to fill out the
loop.
Now you can reorder, overdub onto, and otherwise edit the note data on the edit lanes in the sequencer.
Copy Pattern to Track
This menu item is used for the Redrum drum machine and Matrix pattern sequencer. It converts the selected pattern
to notes on a sequencer track. Proceed as follows:
1. Select a sequencer track.
When working with a Redrum, you want to select the track for the Redrum device. For the Matrix, you would typi-
cally select the track for the Matrix’ target device (the instrument device to which the Matrix is connected). This is
because the Matrix itself produces no sound, so the notes won’t do any good on the Matrix track.
2. Set the locators to the desired range or length.
If the range set is longer than the pattern(s), the data will be repeated to fit the range.
3. Select the pattern device.
4. Pull down the Edit menu and select “Copy Pattern to Track”.
Note clips will be created between the left and right locators, according to the selected pattern.
! When copying Matrix patterns, only the Gate and Keys values will be included!
D If you copied a Redrum pattern, you may want to turn off the “Enable Pattern Section” before playing back the
new track data.
Otherwise, both the main sequencer and the pattern sequencer will play the drum sounds, simultaneously.
D If you copied a Matrix pattern, you may want to disconnect the Matrix (or even remove it), to avoid having both
the Matrix and the sequencer notes playing at the same time.
D If you have automated pattern changes for your pattern device, you can render all patterns to notes in one go,
using the “Convert Pattern Track to Notes” menu item instead.
See “Convert Pattern Automation to Notes”.
Shift Pattern Left/Right
These menu items are used for Redrum, Matrix, Thor (called “Shift Sequencer Pattern Left/Right”) and the RPG-8
Arpeggiator (when the Pattern editor is activated).
The Shift Pattern functions move the notes in a pattern one step to the left or right.
