PT 3.61- Exchange whole tracks
Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to exchange the whole content (Notes+Instrument-Numbers+FX-Commands) of a track with another track of the same pattern? There is the EXCHG-Button, but I don't know how to use it if this feature is supported. For example exchange the whole Track 1 with Track 3 of pattern 0. Thanks. |

You can use Shift+F3/F4 (cut/copy track) and Shift+F5 (paste track).

Maybe I was a little bit inprecisely. After the exchange, track 1 should have the content of track 3 and track 3 the content of track 1. Both tracks belong to the same pattern 0. |

If you copy a track nothing gets lost. Copy the source track to an empty pattern, copy the track you want to to have at the position of the source track, copy the source track back from the empty pattern to the destination track. |

Yes, that's the way I also handle it. But it's a little bit circuitous to use an empty pattern for a track exchange. I thought, that there's an easier way, supported by the PT not using an empty pattern.

I think the EXCHG button (right of pattern data) does not work or has no function. The EXCHG button in sample editor works but only for exchange sample number FROM TO. To exchange/swap two tracks I always used copy/paste like StingRay explained. MilkyTracker can do swap channels with right mouse button click in a track but using MT makes only sense if you use it for mod tracking.

Well, I found a solution for this problem on the PT. Block-Cut/Copy and Track-Cut/Copy use different buffers. Using this behaviour it is possible to exchange tracks. Just cut/copy the first track you want to exchange so it's saved in the track buffer. Then mark the whole second track as a block and cut/copy it, so it's in the block buffer. Then paste the content of the track buffer on the second track and paste the content of the block buffer at the beginning on the first track. That's it.
