Duplicating 

 
When creating and editing Sequences, you can duplicate a pad's step pattern to the next bar. 
Duplicating is different from copying and pasting in the following ways: 

1.

It always copies and pastes to the next bar in the Sequence. 

2.

It always copies and pastes the same pad. 

3.

The effect is immediate (i.e., a single press of 

Step Switch 9 (Duplicate)

). 

You can do this multiple successive times to quickly copy the same pattern to multiple bars, 
which is useful if you want to quickly copy and paste an identical step pattern for a pad from 
one bar to the next (e.g., if you want a kick drum on every downbeat of every bar in a 
Sequence).  

You do not have to be in Sequence Mode to do this; rather, you do this in Select Mode. 
 

To duplicate a pad's steps: 

1.

Enter Select Mode by pressing and holding the 

Select

 button. (Hold the button down for 

the duration of this process.) 

2.

Select the 

pad

 whose step pattern you want to copy by pressing it. Then, select the 

bar 

you want to copy by pressing 

Step Switch 1

, 

2

, 

3

, or 

4

. (The 

Step Indicator

 with the 

same number will light up aqua.) 

3.

Duplicate it to the next bar by pressing 

Step Switch 9 (Duplicate)

. The next bar will be 

automatically selected (its 

Step Indicator

 will light up aqua) and the steps for that pad 

are immediately copied and pasted onto it. 

You can press the button multiple times successively to keep duplicating to the next bar. 
If you duplicate Bar 4, it will "wrap around" to Bar 1. 

Important:

 Normally, you can still view and edit bars "beyond" the limit of the 

Bars

setting, but you cannot duplicate to them with 

Auto

 selected. In other words, if you are 

set to 

Auto

-view the Sequence's bars, you will be able to duplicate only to the "active" 

bars of the Sequence.  

4.

Make other changes, or exit Select Mode by releasing the 

Select

 button.
