I got this idea from this thread, but I found a great workflow for copying kits without overwriting the sequence of the pattern you are copying to. I write a lot of tracks with the same kits and different patterns, and keeping them in sync was a pain until I learned this.
To copy the kit from Pattern X to Pattern Y, but keep the sequence data from Pattern Y:
- First, copy Pattern X with [FUNC] + [REC]
- Second, switch to Pattern Y and paste with [FUNC] + [STOP]
- Third, go to the pattern menu and do Save -> Save Kit Data
- Fourth, after saving the kit data, press [FUNC] + [NO]
You should have exactly the same kit in Pattern X and Y, but the sequence data from Y should be the same as before
