little help

just got a 1000, im running os at the moment
aright so basically iv made a 2 bar drum loop, how would i go about pasting those 2 bars/tracks to make it 4 bars, so i don't have to play 4 bars. sorry to ask such questiions i have been cutoff the internet and can't download the manuel at my workplace, if some1 could answer this it would be greatly appreciated
cheers

the EASIEST way would be to do it through the SONG screen...

-to get to the song screen, press: MODE+PAD 16 [SONG]
-once there, add your 2 bar sequence twice in a row
-press the CONVERT option at the bottom to save your SONG as a new 4 bar sequence (or you could just overwrite your 2 bar sequence with the new 4 bar one)

there are other ways, but this is the least complicated...

[Edit: crossings way does look easier - I'll have to try that]

change the sequence length to 4 bars (that should add 2 bars of silence after your existing two bars)

to copy what you have already, go into SEQ EDIT mode, then COPY
set the Time to the two bars you want to copy, e.g. 001.01.00 - 003.01.00, set Notes to ALL
set Start to where you want to copy to e.g. 003.01.00

to make it 6 bars, you could set Copies to 2, that would copy it once to 003.01.00 and again to 005.01.00

thanks 4 the quick response guys
ye i thought about that crossings alothough once its saved as a song can i still use that as a sequence in another song.
cheers

it's not saved as a song... you're just converting the multiple sequences in the SONG window into a single sequence. you could go and clear everything in the SONG screen right after and it wouldn't affect your converted sequence.

gotcha, its simple enough to do both, many thanks, just made my first beat on the mp, so chuffed
i can never get my drums to swing like this in daws
