Copy (Library Window)

Ctrl+C

Purpose:

Copy is one of two methods of placing Patches into the Library Clipboard. Copy makes a duplicate of the selected Library Patches. It attaches the copies to the Library Clipboard so that they may be pasted into the same Library or a different one of the same type.

Copy provides an easy way to duplicate a Patch before editing the copy. If you wish to create a new Patch based on an existing Patch, copy the Patch to the Library Clipboard using Library/Copy. Next, use Library/Paste to paste the copy of the Patch back into the Library. The copied Patch may now be edited without destroying the original.

Note 1: Before adding the components to the Library Clipboard, the program deletes any Patches currently stored there.

Note 2: Remember that the Library does have a filter option that can block the addition of Patches to a library. If the filter is set to block duplicates then copying a Patch to the clipboard and selected paste in the same library will fail.
