I know this sounds really lame but is there a really simple way to copy your pattern/ make it longer without entering every note?


For example if you start with a 1 bar loop how do I copy that to a 4 bar loop without entering every single part?

I am sure this is really simple but I cant work it out.

cheers

save (write) your 1 bar loop. Then Save go back change the length to 2 bars and save that. then go back and change the length to 4 bars and save that. It sounds like alot of steps but it just takes 2-3 seconds to do.

Why not just save your 1 bar loop as a 4 bar loop. I don't understand why you would save it as a 2 bar loop first.

If you want it to go
A A A A
do it your way, if you want it to go
A B A B
do it 11hz's way.

I'm not following. If it's the exact same loop how is it different either way?

If it is the exact same loop (A A A A) then it isn't different. You can just write at a length of one and then change it to 4.
