Temporary Save And Reload Pattern Commands; Direct Track Transpose; Direct Pattern Transpose; Chains - Elektron Digitone User Manual

Trigs, complete with all parameter lock settings, can also be copied, pasted and cleared. GRID RECORD-
ING mode needs to be active to access this functionality. Press and hold a trig and press [RECORD] to
perform the copy operation. Paste by holding another [TRIG] key and pressing [STOP]. It is also possible
to copy more than one trig. Hold several trigs and press [RECORD]. The trig first pressed acts as the
starting point. When pasting, the other copied trigs are placed in relation to the trig first pressed. Paste
the copied sequence of trigs by holding another [TRIG] key and pressing [STOP]. Clear trig locks by
holding one or more trigs and press [PLAY].
You can undo any copy, paste, and clear operation by repeating the key presses.

10.10.7 TEMPORARY SAVE AND RELOAD PATTERN COMMANDS

Patterns can instantly be saved to a temporary memory space and then reloaded again from this space.
• To perform a temporary save of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [YES]. This is useful when you
want to create a restore point when live tweaking, but without permanently save your changes.
• To perform a temporary reload of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [NO]. It then reloads the pattern
from when you last used the temporary save command. If you have not done any temporary save, then
the pattern reloads from the permanently saved state.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN and TEMPORARY RELOAD PATTERN commands
are great when improvising live. Any changes made to the active pattern, like adding bass
line notes or using CONTROL ALL, can immediately be undone. The temporary saves and
reloads do not affect the pattern in a permanent way.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN command does not save the pattern permanently, and
any changes are lost if you load another project. If you wish to save your changes per-
manently, you should use SAVE TO PROJ in the PATTERN MENU. For more information,
please see "10.7 PATTERN MENU" on page 32.

10.11 CHAINS

Chains are sequences that consist of more than one pattern. You can use chains to preselect and automate
in what order you want your patterns to play.
You can create one chain in the currently active bank. You can use the 16 patterns within that bank to create
the chain. The chain can consist of up to 64 pattern entries.
