Swap or copy drum sounds using a shortcut menu command
1 Control-click or right-click the sound name.
2 Choose one of the following commands from the shortcut menu:
••
Copy (Voice & Seq): Copies the selected sound, including mixer settings and all sequences, to
the Clipboard.
••
Paste Voice: Replaces the selected sound with the sound from the Clipboard but does not
replace existing sequences.
••
Paste Sequence > (submenu): Enables you to replace all, or individual sequences, of the target
drum sound. Sound parameters are not affected.
••
1 to 24: A single sequence replaces the currently active sequence (as set in the Pattern menu)
of the target drum sound. This enables you to copy sequences into any of the 24 possible
pattern locations.
••
All: Replaces all sequences. In situations where a sound only has several sequences (not all 24
are used), “Paste Sequence > all” places these sequences into the same positions; sequence 5
(in the Pattern menu) is pasted to position 5 in the target sound, for example. If a sequence
exists at this location in the target sound, it is replaced. If no sequence exists at this location,
the copied sequence is added to the target sound.
••
Swap with Clipboard: Exchanges and replaces the selected sound with the sound from
the Clipboard.
••
Init > (submenu): Opens a submenu that contains a few starting-point (Init) sounds. Select one
of these to replace the target drum sound. The Sample Init sound initializes the filter and pitch
parameters to neutral settings, which are ideal as a starting point for programming samplebased
drum sounds.
These commands affect only the selected drum sound. The sequence and sound data of the
other 24 sounds are unaffected.
Note: The shortcut menu commands Paste and Swap with Clipboard require an initial Copy
command—to place data in the Clipboard—before you can use them.
