'Duplicate' command for Drum Rack pads
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 4:53 pm
to duplicate a pad currently, you have to alt-click-drag each pad to the adjacent pad, which is fiddly and annoying doing it 15 times 
and duplicating from the chain list view creates a 'Multi' pad, which in my experience is kind of useless;
i see how it works the same way as duplicating a zone in an instrument rack does, but an instrument rack's zone is easy to nudge up one, drumracks aren't. surely if you want a multi pad, drop an instrument rack on it!?
anyway..... i'd love to be able to select a pad, hit cmd-D, and have it duplicated to the adjacent pad (so it copies to the right, and then upwards to the next row), but i can also see possible problems of duplicating a pad over onto an existing used pad. maybe a pop-up warning box here? "replace current pad Y/N?" or something. maybe the chain list view duplication method could work in the adjacent way, rather than the 'multi' way?
have i just talked my way out of my own feature wish?
thoughts?
ta!
