Copying Patterns

The Pattern Options copy pattern, allows a copy of an existing pattern to be made. This can be useful in the following scenarios:

  • A drumkit has been setup in a pattern, and another pattern with the same drumkit is wanted.
  • The song has two patterns which are similar, but not quite the same.

Upon selecting this option, the available patterns are shown, the pattern to copy is highlighted, and Copy selected.

Next the menu changes to "Copy Here" and "Cancel Copy". The place where the pattern should be copied is highlighted and "Copy Here" is selected.

The display is updated to show the new pattern, along with the name "Main(2)". The name is generated by the application so, because pattern names must be unique (to avoid confusion).

It is possible to overwrite existing patterns, in which case the application prompts for confirmation.
