I don’t know if it’s a bug or if it’s designed that way, but it took me a lot of time to figure out how to work in the Step Program mode with the Multi Mode active.
When both modes were selected, copying and pasting track events didn’t always work for me at first. Sometimes events were not copied at all, and sometimes they were pasted in wrong tracks. Until I realized that I should use Copy + Multi Mode + Pad instead of Copy + Pad!
I understand that there are two different contexts here (“multi-mode pads” and “step program tracks”) represented by the same physical controls (the pads), and the way it is implemented does a good separation of the two so the user can decide what they want to do exactly.
For example, pressing a pad will enter a slice (or a multi-mode variation) of the currently selected track (the pad with the bright light). But pressing Multi Mode + Pad X will select the pad X and also add the slice X (of the pad X) to the timeline. Makes sense. But also a little bit confusing.
But what about copying? There’s no way to copy multi-mode values while in the Step Program mode (this is possible in normal mode). Right now, Copy + Pad works only if the right pad is already selected in Multi Mode, while Copy + Multi Mode + Pad works always. So why not allow Copy + Pad to simply copy tracks?
Sorry if my description is too confusing.
