How do I copy sequences or patterns between separate devices?

I went through the manual, and can't figure it out. :(

Thanks, I already know how to copy/paste patches. Pasting patches overwrites data that I want to keep.

These functions are only available on Reasonstudio tools (Matrix ) and Utilities, but never from third-party editors.

On Sequences there is a “trick” to achieve this. I guess it might work on Kompulsion too, but I don’t have Kompulsion so I’m not 100% sure.

If you want to copy a single pattern from instance 1 to instance 2, do the following:

1. Save the state of both instances as device patches (.repatch)
2. On instance 2, load the instance 1 patch
3. Copy the pattern you want to copy
4. Load back the instance 2 patch again
5. Paste into the pattern you want to overwrite

This will work on Sequences because its clip board is independent from the patch, hopefully Kompulsion is implemented in a similar way.

Thanks, seems like kompulsion doesn't have a clipboard. :(

Oh well, we tried. :roll:

As a last resort you could try editing the .repatch files directly. :twisted:

Open them in a text editor and see if you find any obvious property names like "Pattern3" or something like that, then you could just try replacing that property with the corresponding property from the other repatch file.
Obviously you would do this on a copy of the file.

So, I've been using Kompulsion for drum sequencing and run out of Patterns far too quickly
I've been using 2 Kompulsion instances per Kong to get to 16 patterns and ran into the copy/paste patterns issue.

I've just been using [name syntax].repatch files for the different sequencers kind of like @buddard explained; you just have to be mindful of what you overwrite. It would be great to be able to copy/paste between instances; altho I'd rather have at least 24 patterns per seq...oh well
