Copy, Paste and Clear functions on the Model:Cycles operate on different things depending on context and I (and other noobs, see links below) have problems remembering them all. I think that most of these are already in the manual, but to me it seems like it would be a good idea to summarise them all in one place … an appendix maybe ? FWIW, these are my notes, a consolidation of what’s in the Model:Cycles manual plus personal experience and hints on this forum.

Press [TRACK] + [RECORD] to copy the preset/sound (machine + track parameters)
Press [TRACK] + [PLAY] to clear the preset/sound (set default params for machine)
Press [TRACK] + [STOP] to paste the preset/sound to the selected track.

Any pattern copy/paste
Hold [PATTERN] + [TRIG] then press [RECORD] to copy
Hold [PATTERN] + [TRIG] then press and hold [STOP] to paste.
Hold [PATTERN] + [TRIG] then press [PLAY] to clear all pattern data

deactivate GRID RECORDING mode to perform a current pattern copy/paste
Press [FUNC] + [RECORD] to copy the current pattern.
press [FUNC] + [STOP] to paste the copied pattern to the current pattern
Press [FUNC] + [PLAY] to clear a pattern. This clear function will only clear the patterns sequencer data.

activate GRID RECORDING mode to perform a track sequence data copy/paste
Press [FUNC] + [RECORD] to copy the track sequence data
press [FUNC] + [STOP] to paste the copied track sequence data to the current track
Press [FUNC] + [PLAY] to clear track sequence data

activate GRID RECORDING mode to copy/paste a PAGE of track sequence data
Press [PAGE] + [RECORD] to copy the current page.
press [PAGE] + [STOP] to paste the copied page to the current page
Press [PAGE] + [PLAY] to clear a page ?

activate GRID RECORDING mode to copy/paste Trigs, complete with all parameter lock settings
Hold one or several [TRIG]s and press [RECORD] to copy
Hold the [TRIG] key to select and then press [STOP] to paste

EDIT: THIS LINE IS WRONG: → Hold one or several [TRIG]s and press [PLAY] to clear trig locks[/strike]

Hold the [TRIG]s and THEN press [PLAY] to clear trig NOTE
Hold the [TRIG]s and VERY QUICKLY press [PLAY] to clear ALL trig locks
Hold the [TRIG]s, turn the encoder for the trig lock, and press [PLAY] to clear one trig LOCK

Clear trig locks?

Page 33 on the manual says: “Clear trig locks by holding one or more trigs and press [PLAY].” For some reason, when I’m trying that I get a Clear Note message and the p-locks are not being cleared. I must be doing something wrong… I want to keep the note data on a trig and just clear all the parameter locks. Is that possible?

Copy/Paste Model:Cycles

Hey All, I’ve had my M:C for a few months and have wrapped my head around most of it but am still having trouble finding and remembering shortcuts like copying/pasting /clearing trigs,p-locks, notes, tracks, sequence etc.Are there any good quick reference guides for all the shortcuts? I dont even think all of them are listed in the manual. Thanks!
