Copy/paste does work when I use ctrl+ drag but is there really no more efficient way to do this?
Most of the posts I could find were pretty old ....so perhaps I'm missing some new improvement?
I have 8.2.7
Thanks!

you wanna copy midi datas or the sample? click on a drum rack pad, select the sample (every drum rack pad is a simpler) and drag this to another drum rack. its not possible to drag the pad itself to copy the sample

i'm not trying to drag the pad. i'm wondering why dragging is necessary and cmnd + c is not possible. my hand is pretty exhausted from the dragging, i.e. dragging is a major drag.

Like evengy said you can copy the instance of simpler that lies in the pad but cannot copy the pd itself, if you use cmd x or ctrl x to cut then go to the new drum rack, open up the devices list and paste in there.

you will then have to open up i/o's and choose what note u want to trigger the simpler device.
