What’s up
I recently got my hands on Machinedrum and I absolutely love it, especially the fact that for the most part I could start instantly without reading a manual
However there’s one thing that’s not clear to me and is driving me kinda nuts even after going through the manual last night – is there a way for a pattern to keep all of its settings on individual machines?
Example situation:
I’ve got a pattern, it includes this funky device that only has SYN1–8 parameters – I want to copy the pattern, paste it to a clean one, fuck it up, then switch back to the original with all of its settings restored, then go to the fucked up one again, then maybe do a third one with different setting on some or all of the machines. What’s happening to me tho is that when I switch I only get the copied steps – however the machines keep the changes I did to them. Is there a way how to make the pattern store all of the data – both steps, settings etc.? So It’s always exactly the same no matter what I do while tweaking another pattern?
I’m sure I’m missing something very basic
Once I figure this out I won’t need another drum machine in my life
Thanks

Save the “Kit”. Page 15 of the manual.
I really recommend that you read the manual, if only to find out what amazing features you’re missing out on.
Welcome to the forum!
Thanks man! So for every pattern I also save its kit I want to preserve?
I basically went through all of it last night and already got a bunch of cool new shit from it – just this seemed kinda odd to me – all clear now tho!
Thanks a bunch

The Patterns are saved automatically. You need to save the Kit. The Kit is associated with the Pattern, so that the Kit is automatically reloaded when you select the Pattern.
A pattern will use 1 specific kit. But a kit can be used in multiple patterns.
If you copy a pattern to mess around , and you do adjustments to the kit. Make sure that you save to a new kit by choosing another slot when saving the kit.
