Using Cut, Copy, and Paste
To cut, copy, and paste Note Expression data for a single parameter in the editor, use the corresponding commands on the Edit menu.
It is also possible to copy and paste data between different parameters.
Pasting Note Expression data in the editor is restricted to the note (or notes if they are located at the same time position) for which the editor is open. However, you can copy all Note Expression data from one note to another using a key command.
To paste all the Note Expression data from one note to other notes, set up the key command “Paste Note Expression” in the Key commands dialog (Note Expression category).
This pastes all the Note Expression information of one or several notes for which you have used the Copy command into the selected notes.
Using the “Paste Note Expression” command, you can copy the settings you made for one note into several other notes, or copy the settings for several selected notes into a number of other notes (which makes it easy to recreate specific drum patterns, for example).
If Note Expression data is copied from several source notes to a number of destination notes, the following applies:
If the number of the source and destination notes matches, the data of the first “source” note is pasted into the first “destination” note, the data of the second source note into the second destination note, etc.
If the number of source notes is smaller than the number of destination notes, the source note data will be pasted repeatedly into the destination notes in the order in which they appear.
When you copy the data from 2 source notes into 4 destination notes, for example, the first destination note gets the Note Expression data from the first source note, the second destination note the data of the second source note, the third destination note the data of the first source note and the 4th destination note the data of the second source note.
