Deriving it from the M:S Thread:
I would like to have a way to paste a pattern/page/track without removing the old content.
Here is why (and I’d like the same on my DN as well):
In a lot of situations, I can use one track for more than one thing. Simple Example: Kick with off-beat hihat.
I start a track, add a Kick Machine, play around with the sound until I am happy. Now comes the HiHat.
Current workflow: Reduce the Length of the pattern to 4, place a Hihat and work on the sound, until it fits, reset length to old value, copy & paste the hihats to all the other places, where it needs to be.
This workaround works for this special case, but is a nightmare to change etc.
What would be cool: Create the Hihat Patterns and Sound on a different Track until I am happy, copy it and paste it to the Kick Track in merge mode.
You can replace Kick / Hihat with whatever Sounds you like.
I know there will be edge-cases, that needs to be defined, to make this into a product (what happens if there is already something on a step, where the paste wants to write etc., but I am sure, this is solveable)
