Ok guys, I know this is in the manual, but still I thought it wasn't obvious so I'll post it here.

About copying and pasting things :

Many things can be copied/pasted on the OT. You can copy a part and paste it on another part. To do so, in the part menu, place the cursor on the part you want to copy, press FUNCTION + RECORD (copy). The text "copy part X" will appear. Move the cursor to the part you want it to be pasted (which can be in another bank of the project) and press FUNCTION + STOP (paste). The text "pasted on part Y" will appear. Done.

But there are other trickier copy/paste operations, like pages of a track. For example, if you work on a 16 steps pattern, and you worked a lot on one of the track, but now you need it to be 32 steps. You go into the scale menu and put the master scale to 32 steps. But now, your track with 27 parameter locks on the first 16 steps isn't copied on the last 16 steps of the 32 steps pattern. Instead of reprogramming everything on that second "page", you can copy the first page and paste it on the second. You need to be in record mode (doing so by pressing record). With the scale button, make sure you're on the page you want to copy (most likely the first, in this case). Press SCALE + RECORD (and not function + record - that's what isn't obvious - function + record copies the entire track). You should see a message confirming that the page was copied. Now go to the second page with the scale button. Press SCALE + STOP (again, not function + stop). The first page will be pasted on the second page. Bingo.



BIG THANKS for this one

Although this is in the manual I didn't know about it until yesterday:

You can create other types of LFO shapes in the LFO designer by holding down a step and pressing the tempo button to interpolate between steps to create a sloped curve instead of a square like one. Steps edited in this way turn yellow. To revert a step back to normal just hold its trig button and press tempo again.

While locking different samples on different steps, you can choose the sample with the LEVEL knob!!!

Found out last night and it is easier than up / down and enter



Great tip!

Wouldn't it be great if you could choose a sample with just TRIG + LEVEL knob instead of having to press up/down before turning the level knob? That would make it ultra fast to create a sequence of different samples.
