How to copy and paste on the EP-133 K.O. II

Copy and paste on the EP-133 K.O. II runs entirely on two pads: Group C copies, Group D pastes, both held with SHIFT. With it you can duplicate a bar, a whole pattern, a single sound, or every sound in a group, then drop the copy wherever you want. It is the fastest way to build variations and move ideas across groups and scenes.

Copy a bar or a pattern

Copying lives on Group C, and the number of presses decides what you grab:

Copy a bar: press SHIFT + Group C once.
Copy a pattern: press SHIFT + Group C twice.

Whatever you copy is held in memory until you copy something else, so you can take your time choosing where it lands.

Paste what you copied

Pasting is a single move: press SHIFT + Group D. The copy drops into the current spot, and because the content stays in memory you can paste it more than once. Paste works across groups and scenes, so you are not locked to where the copy came from.

1
Copy your bar or pattern with SHIFT + Group C.
2
Move to the group or scene you want to fill.
3
Press SHIFT + Group D to paste.

tip

Copied content sticks around until you copy again, so paste it into several places in a row to spread one idea fast.

Copy a single sound

You can also move one sound from pad to pad without touching the sequence.

1
Enter sound mode with SOUND.
2
Press SHIFT + Group C to copy the current sound.
3
Select the destination pad.
4
Press SHIFT + Group D to paste the sound onto it.

Copy all sounds in a group

To move an entire sound set rather than one pad, copy at the group level.

1
Press SHIFT + Group C twice to copy all sounds in the group.
2
Select the destination group.
3
Press SHIFT + Group D to paste the whole set.

tip

Use copy and paste to duplicate patterns into different groups and quickly build variations of a beat.
