Thanks to all who replied on this. I know what I can and cant do now so will just try and get on with it. I replaced the original message here. I explained my issue better below. No need for any more replies
Thanks

itā€˜s page + copy, and then go to the other page(s) and press page + paste

if you mean four trigs (steps), then hold the four trigs (with four fingers), press copy (this will put those 4 steps into the clipboard). then press 5 and paste, press 9 and paste, press 13 and paste. (alternatively just set page length to four steps.)

for performance or for working on your fill?

Copy Bar 1 Across All Bars (All Tracks)

To be clear ā€” is it not possible to simply copy Bar 1 of a 4-bar pattern (all tracks, all data) and paste it across Bars 2, 3, and 4, replacing the existing content?

To put it plainly: Iā€™ve edited Bar 1 of a four bar loop and I prefer the groove. I now want to erase Bars 2, 3, and 4 and replace them with copies of Bar 1 across every track ā€” effectively extending Bar 1 to fill the entire 4-bar pattern.

In a DAW this is a two-second operation. How do you achieve this on the Tonverk?

Loop and Edit a Single Bar in Isolation

Similarly ā€” if I want to isolate Bar 4 of a 4-bar pattern, loop just that bar, and edit it in place whilst the sequencer is running and it loops only a bar of my choosing, how is that done on the Tonverk?

Copy / paste all tracks page is not possible.

There is PAGE AUTOCOPY option, allowing to extend and repeat what you already sequenced, but it works only if you didnā€™t already write / record several pages.

Maybe a workaround to make it work even after ?

Tonverk isnā€™t a performance looper in the same way that Octatrack is, if thatā€™s what you mean?

Page loop : grid recording mode (rec button lit), hold PAGE, press down arrow, select page.

That would explain my hair pulling

I know about this and hoped there would be an opposite process. Converting my four bar loop in to one bar whist it erases the data I didnt need and then I could extend the one bar of data I want to keep.

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Not what Iā€™m looking for
I meant looping/copying/pasting a particular section of a sequence/pattern during the writing process.

i wrote how to do it: you can copy as many trigs you have fingers at once per track.

Should be, as we can have up to 64 tracks and 16 pages ! Problem common to all Elektrons.
Feature request.

I gave pattern autocopy ā€œresetā€ a try by reducing a 4 bars pattern to 1 bar, copy pattern elsewhere: autocopy doesnā€™t work, previously recorded 4 bars are also copied.

What is possible per track is to copy first page, clear track sequence, paste first page. Then autocopy works.

Apparently the OG user formerly known as Tonverk wants to copy all tracks pageā€¦

Setting the tracks to 4 steps/trigs length should do it.

I do that often for hihats and rumbles, tweak until I am happy and extend if necessary. My suggestion to you, @tnvrk :wink:
