Duplicate tracks/instrument

Hi

I'm new here and I recently received my new Push. Fun to play with but I already have e question which I can't seem to find the answer too in the manual or in here:

Is it possible to duplicate a track? Or is there an easy way to put the exact same instrument on a neighbouring track? I know I could just add a track and go browsing for the instrument, but it just seems faster to be able to duplicate the track or something.
Example: I found a good sound, that I used as bass. And I thought I'd use the same sound in a higher pitch for harmonies too while the bass i stil playing. But I want them on different tracks so I can play them back separately.

Thanks :-)

that one is not in the manual. simple, but it should be anyway

in TRACK mode hold down DUPLICATE and press the track select button

everything gets duplicated, clips and all

I tried this in Note mode and nothing happens. What is Track mode?

Thanks, my bad. I was using the wrong Select button/switch. I was using select next to the shift button. I keep forgetting the select switch above because they are multi functional.
