Pattern copy

[matthewh806]

I haven't seen any functionality to copy a pattern. For example, when creating a 2nd part of a pattern I would like to be able to take the 1st part of the pattern as a basis and then add in slight variations (same goes for creating new patterns).

Is there a way to do this that I've missed? Or is this a feature you'd be interested in adding? If so, I'm happy to give it a go :)

Nope, you didn't miss anything :)

Unfortunately that pattern copy functionality doesn't exist in the original TR-808, and while there are lots of (not necessarily web based) 808 clones that try to provide productivity enhancements, the goal of this project is to provide 1:1 functionality with the original drum machine for historical and educational purposes. Due to that it is extremely unlikely that I'd add/integrate that functionality into this project.

I know that's probably a frustrating answer but I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.

Thanks for the answer. That makes perfect sense, so I totally understand where you're coming from
