I won’t have an opportunity to make a video for at least a week, unfortunately, but I realize I can explain it more clearly, as there are 2 new-to-me ideas:
-
Pattern COPY (FUNC+ COPY) can work alongside FUNC + YES as a second, independent saved pattern state (until you copy something else). Pasting the copied pattern state, like FUNC + NO, will revert to that state seamlessly, mid-pattern.
-
I’d known you can paste a copied pattern elsewhere without moving to it (PTN + [TRIG] + PASTE), hold while it confirms), but being able to also COPY from any pattern without moving to it (PTN + [TRIG] + COPY) means that any pattern state can be saved to another slot for later, and recalled (again, pasted seamlessly), without leaving the “home” pattern.
Together these open up an easy approach to making “alternate” or “fill” patterns that are easy to make and use without interrupting playback or waiting for a 4-bar pattern to end.
