Copying and pasting patches between devices
A quick way to copy device parameter settings between devices of the same type is to use the “Copy Patch” and
“Paste Patch” functions. The result is exactly the same as if you had saved a patch from one device and opened it on
another device of the same type - this is just a quicker method.
! Copying and Pasting settings is possible with all device types that can use patches.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select a patch, and/or make the desired settings on the source device.
Make sure the device remains selected.
2. Select “Copy Patch” from the Edit menu or from the device context menu.
3. Select the destination device of the same type (in the same song or another song).
4. Select “Paste Patch” from the Edit menu or from the device context menu.
The settings of the source device (including Redrum, NN19, NN-XT and Kong sample references and Dr. Octo
Rex REX loop references) are applied to the destination device.
! Note that this operation simply copies the settings from one device to another. Adjusting the settings on one
of the devices will not affect the other; neither will the settings affect any patch file on disk.
Copying Main Mixer Insert FX settings and paste as Combinator patches
You can copy Insert FX settings from Main Mixer channels and paste these as Combinator effect patches - or vice
versa. To copy a Main Mixer channel Insert FX setting and paste into a Combinator device, follow the steps below:
1. Select the desired Mix Channel/Audio Track device in the rack, or the desired Mixer Channel in the Main Mixer.
2. Select “Copy Channel Settings -> Insert FX” from the Edit menu or device/Mix Channel context menu.
The Insert FX devices with their settings and connections are placed on the computer’s clipboard memory.
3. Select the desired empty Combinator device in the rack - or create a new Combinator device and select it.
4. Select “Paste Patch” from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
The Insert FX devices with their settings and connections are pasted into the Combinator device.
To copy an effect patch in a Combinator device and paste it as an Insert FX in a channel strip in the Main Mixer, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Select the Combinator device which contains the effects you want to copy.
2. Select “Copy Patch” from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
The Combinator effect devices with their settings and connections are placed in the computer’s clipboard memory.
3. Select the desired Mix Channel/Audio Track device in the rack, or the desired channel strip in the Main Mixer.
4. Select “Paste Channel Settings: Insert FX” from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
The Combinator devices with their settings and connections are pasted into the Insert FX section of the selected
Mix Channel/Audio Track device.
Initializing patches and resetting device parameters
Sometimes it is useful to start with a “clean slate” when creating a synth sound, a drum kit or a sampler patch. This is
achieved by selecting “Reset Device” from the Edit menu or from the device context menu. This resets all parameters
to “default” values. Initializing NN19, NN-XT, Dr. Octo Rex, Kong or Redrum devices will also remove all sample/REX
file references, allowing you to start from scratch.
