 =====COPY and PASTE===== =====COPY and PASTE=====
-Press COPY to make a copy a portion of the currently selected track into the SEQ's copy buffer.  By default, the visible steps will be copied (ie: steps 1-16 if the SEQ's LCD is displaying the start of your pattern.)  The COPY function works this way in most modes - if you're in any mode other than EDIT view, the SEQ will switch to EDIT - Step View while the COPY button is held, and will revert back to the previous view when the button is released.+Press COPY to copy a portion of the currently selected track into the SEQ's copy buffer.  By default, the visible steps will be copied (ie: steps 1-16 if the SEQ's LCD is displaying the start of your pattern.)  The COPY function works this way in most modes - if you're in any mode other than EDIT view, the SEQ will switch to EDIT --> Step View while the COPY button is held, and will revert back to the previous view when the button is released.
  
 While COPY is held down, you can select the range of steps that will be copied (remember: by default COPY copies the 16 visible steps).  Move Encoder #1 to select the first step in the range, and any other encoder (including the datawheel) to select the last step in the range. While COPY is held down, you can select the range of steps that will be copied (remember: by default COPY copies the 16 visible steps).  Move Encoder #1 to select the first step in the range, and any other encoder (including the datawheel) to select the last step in the range.
  
 Pressing PASTE takes the steps in the copy buffer and pastes them into the track starting at the selected offset position.  By default, the offset position is the first visible step on the LCD (eg: step 1, 17, 33, etc.).  But you can choose a different offset if you want - while the PASTE button is held down, the offset can be selected with any encoder, including the Datawheel. Pressing PASTE takes the steps in the copy buffer and pastes them into the track starting at the selected offset position.  By default, the offset position is the first visible step on the LCD (eg: step 1, 17, 33, etc.).  But you can choose a different offset if you want - while the PASTE button is held down, the offset can be selected with any encoder, including the Datawheel.

 You can choose whether the CLEAR (and COPY/PASTE) functions affect only the steps of the track, or the entire track (including MIDI port/channel settings, drum layer assignments, etc.)  This configuration option is available through the "Paste and Clear Button Will Modify" option on the Options Page (UTIL (F1) --> OPT). You can choose whether the CLEAR (and COPY/PASTE) functions affect only the steps of the track, or the entire track (including MIDI port/channel settings, drum layer assignments, etc.)  This configuration option is available through the "Paste and Clear Button Will Modify" option on the Options Page (UTIL (F1) --> OPT).
 =====MOVE===== =====MOVE=====
 +The MOVE function (Accessible in the UTIL (F1) menu), allows you to move a step to another step position.  While the MOVE button is held, use any of the 16 encoders to move the note (and all other layer data) currently in the step position corresponding to that encoder to another step.
 =====SCROLL===== =====SCROLL=====
 +The SCROLL function (Accessible in the UTIL (F1) menu), allows you to offset all of the steps in the track forward or backwards.  While the SCROLL button is held, use any of the 16 encoders to move all the notes in the track beginning at the step position corresponding to that encoder. 
 =====UNDO===== =====UNDO=====
 A button is available to directly activate the UNDO function, but by default it is not assigned on the Wilba Frontpanel.  You can assign the function to a button by editing the [[hardwareconfig|MBSEQ_HW.V4 file]]. A button is available to directly activate the UNDO function, but by default it is not assigned on the Wilba Frontpanel.  You can assign the function to a button by editing the [[hardwareconfig|MBSEQ_HW.V4 file]].
