#How to save a pattern in fl studio android

This is important, because it can evolve into a completely different song, so I want the original moved out of sight but not deleted, and not stored in a save file either. And without having to sequence anything yet. If one variation might not work well, I can go to the other instruments and try adapt their patterns to the variation, again without destroying the originals. For example, I can copy a pattern and try different variations without destroying the original.

Its advantage is difficult to describe, and rather subjective. The upside, as mentioned, would be saving patterns for later. Let's say this is a rare use case, and you might prefer actually to make changes twice, conciously, only once, or differently in each place. In FLSM I can add a track to layer patterns, but the tracks cannot be muted individually. Or I have two patterns, A and A++, so that changes to A have to be made twice. In Caustic, I have either two channels so that changes to an instrument have to be made twice. Either way is suboptimal, but FLSM offers little to no improvement over this. It can be emulated by cloning the channel, or by recreating the pattern with the given additions. One downside to Caustic's song mode is that patterns of a single instrument cannot be layered. Instead, it seems, I have to copy A and make all changes to the pattern twice. And if I set up a sequence A-B-B-A for example, I can easily stretch B to repeat once, but I have found no way yet to instantiate A. Instead, I would move the patterns around in and out of the loop, which is literally a drag. In FLSM I can loop over a bar of any size, too, but it seems I cannot switch up patterns quickly and I cannot leave patterns unused. The song editor emulates this behaviour as well, so if a certain sequence of patterns sounds nice, I can note that down quickly and loop over the sequence. if there are four instruments with four patterns each, the 4 5 possible combinations can be tested on the fly without editing about 1000 patterns individually. This means, importantly, that it's very easy to copy and save variations of a pattern and that the groove can be played live by selecting patterns at runtime. My workflow in Caustic has been to edit a single pattern in a loop, similar to FL, but each instrument's patterns are individually accessible, each instrument playing in parallel. FL mobile on my new phone has me super exited about all the goodness to be discovered, and maybe I should take the time to study the help material, but from a first look it appears that things run quite different.

Previously I've been using Caustic on Android and Fruity Loops up to FL Studio 7 long before that.
