Copy-&-Paste Parameter Values

Post by cohamill » Mon Sep 14, 2015 2:20 am

Would be a huge time-saver when designing sounds with layers.

For example, say I have 4 Analogs in a rack with the same envelope. I don't want to waste macros on envelope settings since I won't be changing them during performance, but I decide I want to lengthen the attack when designing the patch. Well, if I've already got four different Analog chains going on, I have to go through and modify the same parameter 8 different times (assuming I'm using both oscillators in each Analog).

That's just one of countless examples where being able to copy and paste (either directly so I don't have to use the mouse or retype each value, or via a "copy to siblings" function) would save lots of time that can definitely detract from the creative flow. Hopefully this would be easy to implement.

You're saying let set one up how I like it and then copy it multiple times? This is what I do, but in order for this to be a good solution, you have to get all your settings perfect on the first pass before you duplicate the device.

Frequently after duplicating it, I find the sound needs further tweaking to fit better into the mix, so ultimately I end up having the change the same parameter the same amount on several different devices. Very inconvenient.
