There must be something simple I’m missing here but I cannot figure out how to perform this basic function.
I want to copy midi notes from, say, the snare and paste those notes to another instrument – like another snare layer for example.
What I’ve tried is highlighting the midi notes I want to copy, going edit->copy notes, then selecting the other instrument channel, putting the playhead marker where I want them to be pasted and going edit-> paste. It looks like it just pastes the notes on top of the original spot.
What am I missing here?
Another way is to:
Select the notes you want to duplicate, then option-drag (MAC) them to the new instrument. This makes a copy of the notes instead of just moving them. Should work fine
And if you press Shift+Alt/Option, you constrain the drag vertically.

Thanked by: Bear-Faced Cow and Henrik EkblomIf you want to specifically copy drum hits (e.g., snare, kick, ride, etc.) — then double click on a block of drums (that show up in Track1 for example) and at the top/middle of the screen, click on GRID EDITOR.
Once you’re in Grid Editor, you can use the selector tool (looks like an arrow) to select one or more drum hits, then right click and copy. Next, just place the playhead in the grid editor where you want to paste and right click, choose paste. Perhaps oddly, it doens’t seem to work if you use command+V — so you have to right click and then choose paste.
Hope this helps.
Here is how to do this – more visually:

Good one thx!
Hello!
Is this not possible in edit play style mode or is there a way to do this?
For example if I want to copy midi notes from the tom to a snare (not the Power Hand). If I right click on the tom and select “cut or copy midi” and then select “paste midi tom” on the snare, the tom will always be reactivated and the snare remains without midi notes.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks and best wishes

Hi nicovice,
you’re right, you are supposed to be able to cut/copy from one instrument and paste to another in Edit Play Style, I can’t either.
I have to check with my colleagues but I suspect this function is broken in the current version.

Hi, John,
thank you for the quick response.
So it should actually work and will be delivered again with an update?
Best regards

Hello again,
i also have the same problem like user jthom.
If i copy midi in grid editor e.g like the ride in my first picture and select a different instrument like the cymbals in the second picture and try to copy the events on thy cymbals track, the programm copies the events again on the ride track.(3rd picture)
So, whats the solution for this problem? i dont think any of the answers in this thread gave an answer to this special problem.
Maybe its also a bug in the current version?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
