Moving and Copying Patterns and Styles

The Overview page offers several possibilities to move, copy, or exchange the patterns or styles between the cells.

To switch the content of two cells, drag a cell to another cell.
To copy a pattern or style of a cell to another cell, hold down Alt/Opt and drag the cell to another cell.
To move or copy patterns or styles to other groups, hold down Alt/Opt and drag the cell first over the corresponding group button.
This switches the Overview page to display this group. Now, you can drop the content on the destination cell.

Note

If you try to move or copy a style to a cell for an agent that does not support them, the styles are automatically converted to MIDI patterns.
If you load a pattern group that contains styles into a slot for an agent that does not support these styles, they are automatically converted to MIDI patterns.
