Swapping Figures Around Between Instruments

Posted

Is there an easy way to swap parts between instruments?  I want to take a melody and countermelody and swap the players for it, in other words, for one container Violin I will play the melody, but on the next container Cello will play the exact same line while Violin plays what Cello played previously.  I know I can copy and paste the figures, but then I will lose what was originally in the Cello line. How do I swap figures among instruments without losing anything?

Beginner so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious here!  :)

I ended up making a "cadaver" container (an extra copy from which I could steal figures) then deleted it.  Is this the way others handle this?  Seems to have worked.

you can drag stuff (not just figures) to the embedded library and then drag them from there to any other instrument parameter's list. You can also create your own library and drag stuff there and use those sequences within other tunes.

You can even drag an entire container to a library. It will save a copy of all phrases inside.

There are various ways, you can tell. Here is another: I sometimes add a tmp track for purposes like that...
