You are right, just tried it out. Hmm, pity maybe thats a bug. Seems that you are working alot with this function? I guess its the data-structure of the pattern. Only the note information will be kept. Am I right Yannick? Tho enhanced pattern saving would be a nice feature.
it was a hard work, especially if we can't open several modules in the same time, i wanted to remake a song, needed to reload some patterns to new mod.
I must agree, opening several instances with copy and paste functions would be neat. Then you could merge several modules to one. I often have the problem that I have good pads in one mod and a good beat in another mod. Combining them by cut and paste would be lovely.
I thought that in mt3 it would be possible to open 2 (or more?) songs at the same time, this would allow you to copy things from one song to another verry easy.
Or even play them at the same time. (would be great for mixing live )
