Newbie! How to have unique track sounds in different patterns?

I’m sorry if this is a ridiculous question, I feel like I’ve gone through the appropriate parts in the manual but I can’t seem to figure out how to go about, for example:

Pattern A01 copied to Pattern A02.

Change to Pattern A02, modify Track sound (sample, effects or anything) in T5 without affecting T5 in Pattern A01.

On the Analog Four, each pattern has its own kit, I haven’t quite gotten my head around the methods for this kind of thing on the OT. Many many thanks for any tips for this newbie :slight_smile:

EDIT: I just saw this post: Different samples for each part

I think that is the issue, so maybe someone (a mod) can delete this question?

That poster was asking about sample assignments but it’s kinda the same thing here. (I think) everything on tracks (sample slot assignments, effects, LFOs etc) is stored in the Part rather than Pattern, which only actually stores trigs. (I maybe a little off here but basically this is how it goes.)

So when you for example adjust effects, you are actually editing the Part. Every Pattern has a Part assigned to it, and I think by default it is always Part 1 of the corresponding Bank. For your particular dilemma the answer is to do as follows:

Copy Pattern A01 to A02; Go to Part menu (press Function+MIDI), press the up arrow to highlight Part 1, press Func+Rec (to COPY the part), then in the part menu press the right arrow to highlight Part 2, press Func+Stop (to PASTE on Part 2). Assuming you have Pattern A02 active, highlight Part 2 and press YES (to assign Part 2 to Pattern A02). Now you should have identical Patterns A01 and A02 assigned to Parts 1 and 2 respectively, so when you modify one, the other stays as it is.

Unless you have overlapped sample slot assignments in the two parts; if you want to have the two parts truly independent, you will need to change the sample slots that are used or you risk again changing something inadvertently in Part 1 by messing with Part 2.

and the other thing that can throw you a little is that each pattern can be a different part

for example, if you click pattern 1 (it may be on part1), then if you click pattern 2 (it may be pattern 4), etc etc…it all depends on how you set it :slight_smile:
