Not at this time.

Since song progression is pretty important to me, this is pretty disappointing

Yes, @thegiantarm and I were just discussing it odd to have a pattern chain mode, which is an invitation to use multiple patterns in a tune, and no kit copy.
Here’s to hoping for that functionality in an update.

It’s quite common for me to have a number of patterns set up for a song which all use the same sounds and I must admit this is definitely putting me off pressing the go button on the Digitakt. If one wanted to tweak the sounds after making a number of patterns, how can you sync the changes across all the patterns?

This is hella annoying… I figured after watching Cuckoo’s tutorial that you could easily copy a pattern from bank to bank (within a project) - but he’s using what sounds like the default kit. Is there no way to copy your pattern to another bank? I understand that this topic has been beaten to death, but shouldn’t this be a basic feature?
I suppose it’s complicated because of SOUNDS, special kits, p-lock information etc. but is there no plan for the future integration of a pattern/kit copy feature? So, there is no ‘kit copy’ function within a project?

This is a reply to bruin not for the OP
Sorry I don’t have a DT, but does this not work?
And then can you go into pattern menu and “clear sequencer data” to just be left with the kit?

I’m at work right now, but I believe that’s the exact series of steps that I followed (after watching the tutorial) – GRID RECORDING mode was definitely off, and after “pasting” to the newly-selected bank it briefly shows a message, like “press NO to undo” or something… but there’s no new (copied) kit, nor is there any sequence (pattern) information. I assumed that it might’ve worked for Cuckoo as he was using the default (new project) samples. Are people copying and pasting their specialised kits, or not?? I know this was a heated topic a couple months back and I apologise for beating a dead horse.
I start with an empty pattern
make a beat… kick snare hh bass perc etc…
then copy pattern (with all settings) to the next pattern
then I adjust it
so there will be different adjustments in the patterns
no kit structure… so they are independent
first I didn’t like
but not it is cool…
digitakt is a little bit unpredictable on some way
but it is within limits by using function yes (reload)

I realized that you have to clear the default kit first ([FUNC] + [PLAY]), in order to paste the copied kit, pattern, and all of its info to a new bank. thank you guys

There is also a workaround to copying just the kit from one pattern to another here: Digitakt "Kit" Structure. How is it different?

They way I copy my kit into a new pattern is I copy paste the whole pattern, then hit the [PATTERN] menu and clear sequence data. Your kit is there in a new pattern clean of trigs. Since the menus remember your last move, the second time you do this it is just three clicks. (FUNC+PASTE, PATTERN MENU, YES).
Maybe anyone knows a quicker way to do it?

If we could copy / paste projects in the project manager, then it would be possible to take the same approach with regards to copying a pattern or kit to a new project.
I have a peach of sequence trapped in a project that’s full of sequences that I don’t want to overwrite - but I want to liberate that one special sequence (and kit) and take it into a a fresh project where I can resample and lay down new sequences to my heart’s, content.
Allowing us to copy projects would probably be straightforward to implement - and it mimics the existing flow / workaround. In the above scenario I’d have to clear all the other patterns first, but that’s no bother to me. I like the idea of having one project that’s a scratchpad for a wide variety of ideas that can be later pulled out into new projects for refinement, reshaping and resampling. Iteration is key for me when working with samplers.

Its no solution but if you are desperate you could copy the pattern, paste it to a new project and assign the samples that it requires in the same order, you may not be able to copy kits across projects but all the other data can be.
ah, so you’re unable to copy patterns across projects on the DT?
i’ve been in the same project since i got it, so i haven’t messed around with this yet.
the workaround up a few posts works well to update a kit without losing your pattern. really hope they figure out a more elegant way to do this tho…maybe just have kits, eh eh?
Super !..its work for me , thanks for the tip !

Surely you can just save the project to a new slot (thus duplicating it) and just clear the patterns you don’t need?
Hi, RiK
I have the same problem.
Do you have any solution now?
Regards
There’s no workaround for loading a kit into an existing project but, what I’ve been doing is saving my kits as projects, without any sequence data.
I’m taking this as a habit: After starting a blank-template-project and choosing/editing the kit, I use “save project as”, and that way I save a duplicate with the same name but adding “KIT”.
After a while, if you feel like you don’t wanna start from scratch and design a kit you’ll always have as many kits as projects you have started, and this is good.
It’s not what we want, but it’s something. Hope it works for someone. Cheers.
