on thing is to stop fooling around with the preset patterns...it's like
trying to do advanced mathematics when you didn't learn how to
divide....these presets might even be recorder with other gear than the
RM1x...
you just have to start from scratch in the user patterns with your own
stuff...it will help you understand the machine a lot quicker...
about the copying-thing: it makes sense for a pattern oriented synth.....you
create your basic phrases, and you can use them in all the different
sections and tracks without having to copy the data....it's efficiency....
btw, steinberg will release a cd-rom (very much aimed at their own software,
but maybe usefull) about creating dance music:
