The events will be pasted according to the rules described hereinafter. If no event is se-
→
lected, all displayed events will be affected: in Keyboard view these are all events of the
focused Sound; in Group view these are all events of all Sounds within the Group (see
section ↑7.1.5, Group View and Keyboard View
Keyboard view).
If you have copied events from multiple Sounds as the Pattern Editor was in Group view,
and then switch to Keyboard view before pasting the events, only the copied events from
the Sound previously focused will be pasted in the new focused Sound.
Pasting Rules
The location at which the cut or copied events will be pasted depends on the following:
▪ In any case the first pasted event will be quantized to the current Step Grid, and the fol-
lowing pasted events will retain their time offset to this first event.
▪ If you paste the events via the Paste command from the context menu of the Event area's
background:
◦ The first copied event is pasted at the closest step near the mouse cursor on the time
axis.
