Editing pattern length question

Hello.
I’m trying to figure out how to do something and I’m not sure if I’m missing something or it’s not possible. If I have a 16 bar pattern is there a way to pick and copy individual bars from within that pattern? Meaning, if I have a 16 bar pattern programmed but then I’d like to copy just bars 5-8 to a new pattern of it’s own is there a way?

This is something I would do on my 2000xl. If I was trying to work something out I would live play the pads for 16 or more bars then copy that pattern to a new pattern where I could pick a section from that pattern to loop and cut the rest out.

I’ve got a 16 bar pattern on the s2400. I copied it to a new pattern. I can change the length of the pattern but that cuts the last bars out. If I start with 16 and change the length to 8 it cuts 9-16 leaving me with 1-8. Is there a way to more be more specific about which bars are cut out? Am I missing something or is this not even an option on this machine?

Thank you for any help you may have!

In Step Program mode, you can copy the bars you want, change the pattern, then paste.

Sick. Thank you so much! I haven’t spent much time with the Step Programming yet but I’m about to dig in.

Wow. Thank you! This is what I was looking for and so much more!
