Title: Copying a selection to repeat - like a chorus of a song or repeat verses
Post by: nzlongfellow on April 13, 2015, 01:05:13 AM

Hi, I am setting up Matrix faces and have not found the way to copy and paste a repeat chorus or verse rather than re-sequencing.
Am I missing something?

I tried to add it in this release but its not working properly in all cases.  You highlight a selection then Control-C copy and click an empty cell and Control-V paste.  I think it might be working if you only select effect on a single row.  I had it working on my test sequence for multiple rows so I checked in the code but then after the release I found another sequence where multi-row copy/paste wasn't working.  So definitely have a backup of any files since you could get undesired results.

Looking forward to large-selection cut/paste capabilities!

The multi-effect copy/paste fix is checked in.  Where is Sean today? :)
We probably needed a release today more than any day since I broke key bindings and changed the effect tags for the new effect.

Cut and paste is awesome. Is there a recent effects button? Am I missing it? If not, something to think about. We are all spoiled getting this many updates. With some other software it's like watching paint dry.

There's not a recent effects button but I believe when you drag an effect onto the grid its settings should match whatever it was set to the last time you used it or the last effect of that type you've clicked on.  That was my original copy/paste method.  Click on an effect elsewhere to set what I want it to do and then drag the icon to the grid.

I noticed that. Thank you
