Confused with pattern variations with copy/paste

Hey guys,

When I copy paste a pattern any changes that I make on the copied pattern is also applied on the original pattern!! wtf? Say I change the lfo speed on pattern 2 when I switch to pattern 1 the lfo speed has changed also, what gives?

How can you copy/paste for variations on a pattern?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

It is because the kit is linked to both patterns, what you need to do once you copied the pattern is copy the kit, save the new pattern with the new kit, make your edits to the new kit, profit.

Or another way is to save any edits to the new pattern as p-locks, so in the case of the LFO p-lock the new value in the new pattern, rather than just changing it on the kit level.

That thread will be useful to you. Hopefully clear up any sort of unknowns about patterns, kits, what saves and what doesn’t, etc.
