WORKING WITH PATCHES
100
! Note that you can save a patch under the same name and location
without having the save dialog appear by holding down [Option]
(Mac)/[Alt] (Windows) and clicking the floppy disk button on the
device panel. Be aware that this overwrites the original patch!
! Note also that you cannot save into a ReFill! This means that if you
have opened a patch from within a ReFill, modified it and want to
save it, you need to save it as a separate file. Preferably, you should
also rename the modified patch file, to avoid confusion.
Copying and Pasting
Patches between Devices
A quick way to transfer settings between devices of the same type is to use the
Copy and Paste Patch functions. The result is exactly the same as if you had
saved a patch on one device and opened this patch on another device - this is
just a quicker method.
! Copying and Pasting settings is possible with all instrument device
types, except the Dr. Rex Loop Player.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select a patch, and/or make the desired settings on the first device.
2. Select Copy Patch from the device context menu or the Edit menu.
3. Select the other device of the same type (in the same song or an-
other song).
4. Select Paste Patch from the device context menu or the Edit menu.
The settings of the first device (including Redrum and NN19/NNXT sample
references) are applied to the second device.
! Note that this operation simply copies the settings from one device
to another. Adjusting the settings on one of the devices will not af-
fect the other; neither are the settings connected to any patch file
on disk.
Initializing Patches
Sometimes it is useful to start with a “clean slate” when creating a synth sound,
a drum kit or a sampler patch. This is done by selecting Initialize Patch from the
device context menu or Edit menu. This sets all parameters to “standard” values.
Initializing NN19, NNXT, Dr. Rex or Redrum devices will also remove all sample
file references, allowing you to start from scratch.
