yes, for me it seems easier the other way around, that meaning, copy/paste the sounds into the pattern. If your sounds are the same as your samples, another solution could be placing the kits in groups of eight in order (kit 1: samples 1-8, kit 2: samples 9-16, etc…), and them moving them all together with trk+ “knob D” to use the ctrl all to move all the sample slots at the same time…
