Rearrange Arranger rows

Hi Everyone -

Is there a way to rearrange the rows in the Arranger? Let’s say I have 5 rows of bank A, then 5 rows of bank B. But let’s say I’d like to put the 5 “B” rows before the 5 “A” rows - how would I go about doing this? Is there a way to do it in the machine itself? I had really hoped I could open the arr01.work file and simply rearrange in a text editor, but that doesn’t seem to work either. Any help would be appreciated. If I can’t figure it out, I suppose I could recreate the entire thing in the proper order, but that seems really tedious for something so simple. My arrangement is about 100 lines :open_mouth:

Not that I am aware of.

AFAIK, there is no way of doing it on the Octatrack itself. Though I am not a heavy user of the Arranger, so maybe someone else can correct / educate me.

Me personally? I use a little piece of software I developed…

What about JUMP ?

JUMP makes the arrangment jump to a new position.

thanks for the info, Rusty! OctaEdit does seem handy for this sort of thing…

Ah yes… jump! I’ll dive into this - thank you!

I haven’t tried but maybe selecting the row # and then standard copy paste.

Manual says copy, paste, clear and undo functions are available in arrangement edit…

You just go into the bank & push those 5 rows it will then display on whatever row you have highlighted

So make 10 rows then go down your list in whatever bank order you want and push the pattern from that bank that you want it will change the row into whatever you press

Sorry, not sure to understand…
You mean change the rows by selecting Banks / Patterns with trigs ?
It is faster than level button for sure !

But, you can’t select / copy / paste / move several rows, no ?

Copy Paste work. Clear erase settings except Pattern number. Undo pressing Copy / Clear / Paste twice.

FN+arrow down creates a row
FN+arrow up deletes a row

You can also Copy / Paste arrangements in Change and Chain menus, modify them, and reorder with Chain. Chain is not saved.

I always write my order down then punch it in with the bank trig buttons I could pound out a 100 rows fairly fast

I think it depends largely on how your work, and how your patterns are set up. For my workflow, JUMP worked perfectly.
