Subject:AP6 Key change COPY/MOVE!? Posted by: Bratman! Date:10/16/2008 2:44:22 AM Hi, I'm new here (as I'm sure you regular folk will know!?) I've searched the forums a bit but dont find an answer... I was just wondering if it is possible to COPY or MOVE key change markers - without manually doing each one! Uno...For example: Copy the entire Chorus (or Verse etc.) section and simply paste it where you need it & move (the selection) to the correct position!? ..or is this not possible in AP6!? (& AP7!? Wait 'n see!?)

You create a Section (Insert \| Section (Shift+S)) and then you can drag it, markers and all, anywhere you want in the song. ~jr

(altho I havn't really played round with sections - which could come in handy! ...but there doesn't seem much you can do with these regions other than move EVERYTHING round!) No...all I want to do is be able to copy regions of key changes! For example I'd like to be able to program the key changes for say the Chorus, then simply click on the first keychange of the chorus, hold down Shift and click on the last and it must select all in-between! So that I can then simply CTRL-C (Copy) and CTRL-V (Paste) as many times as i like! This would simply speed up things a lot! (Not that I always use this feature - I actually often use Acid for "real" bands - no loops...but when i do use it, heck it takes forever to punch in a whole 3-4minutes of keychanges!) I suppose the "Section" option may help but I'll just have to work around it coz often as i said I work with live tracks from start to end & this may not work!? I'll try it!
