Reverting to saved Pattern state before loading it

Playing a pattern, modify it and press [FUNC]+[NO] to reload it back to the saved state is awesome.
Sometimes, i would like to manipulate a pattern up to a point where i can make a nice transition to another pattern. If i went back to the first pattern now, it would still hold the parameter settings which i changed for the transition. But in some cases, i would actually like to transition directly back into the saved state from the first pattern, whithout hearing the applied changes first.

Is that achievable without needing a perfect timing every time?

EDIT: i know, it’s possible to copy the initial state before manipulating and then paste it in the other pattern, to go back, but i’d still ike to get to the old pattern in its original place in the bank.

unfortunately doing this exactly as you described would come down to timing, reloading just before the pattern switch (which can be tricky).

i would recommend just making a duplicate copy of your original pattern, then switching back to it when returning from the pattern you switched to; it would achieve the same effect, though it wouldn’t technically be your original pattern.

from there, if you did want to actually restore the original pattern, you could copy from the duplicate after switching to it, let it play for one loop, switch to your original pattern & paste as soon as it switches. that would come down to timing too of course, but might be slightly more manageable (as opposed to reloading just before a switch).

I would love to be able to reload the pattern in the same way you can copy patterns but instead of paste press no… I might even send a feature request

You can copy and paste patterns without leaving the current pattern,
just select the pattern and while continuing to hold press copy… same goes for paste.
Now if only you could do the same with reload!

genuinely forgot that was a feature… guess i need to take another look at the manual :stuck_out_tongue:

certainly would be nice to have for reload too. press and hold pattern in pattern select mode, then press and release no to reload the selected pattern, or something along those lines. maybe someday… -•-
