Moving and Copying Samples between Pads

You can be move and copy samples between pads, and even between different pad groups, using drag and drop.

  • To move the samples from one pad to another pad, drag the pad onto the destination pad.

    Depending whether you drag it onto the top, middle, or bottom drop icon, the samples are added to the samples on the destination pad, or they replace any samples on the destination pad, or they are inserted onto the destination pad and the following pads.

    Note

    To copy the samples instead of moving them, keep Alt/Opt pressed when dragging the samples.

    Note

    When you copy pads that are part of a sliced loop, they are pasted as normal instrument pads, that is, they are no longer related to the loop.

Moving and Copying Samples between Groups

To move or copy the samples to pads in another group, drag the samples on the group button first to show the group, and then to the new pad.

The options are the same as when moving samples between pads of the same group.

Moving Sliced Loops

You can move sliced loops with one drag and drop operation.

  • Drag the first slice of the loop and move it onto the pad section.

    When you start dragging, Groove Agent shows the pads on which the sliced loop can be dropped, that is, the pads that are followed by enough empty pads to insert all the slices. Pads on which the loop cannot be dropped are grayed out.

  • Drop the slice on the pad from which you want to start inserting slices.
