No need to clone for patterns and loops. Just place one in a track and right drag it. It loops as many as you want to drag out. Lots of possibilities with this feature.
Yep. That one is a VERY welcome addition for me as well. Now I can easily duplicate my miserable playing into loooonnnggg tracks! 
Still missing the “Talent Button”…

Well, then I have just the thing for you, D. Check this out.Best plug ever
Heh… yep. Seen that one. Funny stuff.

I was all set to drive south for two days a whoop ya good.
I AM trying to show a bit of restraint… Reaper wasn’t the first though. Bunch of ‘em have had that for nigh-on 42 years. You gotta admit, it IS a sweet tool!
Poppa, have you ever messed around with Sony’s ACID? Or before that Sonic Foundry ACID? Great app until Sony got their mitts on it. Long live the “little guy”! The Flavio Antonioli’s and Justin Frankel’s of the world. Good on yun’s sez Diogenes The Great! (Great at eatin’ and sleepin’… not much else.)

I did so much acid in high school in the late 60’s I have a natural tendency to shy away from un-aptly named products. Hence the fact I don’t have Reaper installed either.
My first DAW software was n-Track - hopefully my last. I’m a hardcore loyal user. I did use Vegas for years for certain things.
Yep - I agree with you. Guys like Flavio are a rare breed - they don’t run in herds.
nTrack was my first, I’ve used alot since, the worst you ask?
CUBASE LE, it really sucks!
Edit:
Oops, I forgot, nTrack wasn’t my first, Cool Edit Pro locked version, 10 tracks, no plugs. Came with my ol Gina card. Back then they only wanted something like $400 bucks to un lock it.
the sample drag feature was available to MAGIX usere long before R was a twinkle in Jasons eye -

now doesnt that whip the lamas ass -
That’s a great feature! Can’t wait to try 6 out!
Hi all,
I just tried that feature and I love it.
BUT, it doesn’t work for MIDI tracks.
That would be very desirable.
Make a two or four bar MIDI drum pattern and stick it in as often as needed just by dragging.
I’ve been having some trouble using N-Track drums as the metronome source in V6.
N keeps crashing and closing when I open NTD.
I reported this to Flavio today.
No reply yet.
Anybody else having this issue?

I have not got around to testing the drums. Can’t you cut and paste midi files in the ‘piano roll’? I never have tried that either though.

I 2nd that feature, would work great on midi drums! The way it's set up now is to much a pain.
Cut-n-paste of MIDI has always been a bit strange, until that something hits you in the face. MIDI tracks don’t exist. What a MIDI track really is is a list of events with the time of each event being the time it occurs relative to the last event. Editing events requires recalculating the time of nearly every event in the list, and definitely every event at and past the first edit point.
Most MIDI editors use a hybrid MIDI structure that uses absolute times to make editing easier.
Regardless, this makes editing MIDI tracks in the same way as editing sections of waves a pain to deal with at the coding level. The result is that you usually need to select the events (notes) that you want to edit.
Another BIG bugaboo is what to do with events that are always visible, and may become irrelevant or otherwise useless or even harmful when changed.For example, how should editing pitch bends be handled if the edit points are across pitch bends (not inclusive of the whole bend)? Sometimes misplaced pitch bends can be carried from performance to performance. Outboard MIDI modules remember the last state even when powered down and back on.
Anyway, MIDI is VERY relative to what has been played before, and it’s not JUST timing.
I’ve been wanting this feature for many years.

Definitely a MUST HAVE for MIDI use. This makes drum stuff a snap in that “other” program. Got a measure laid out just “so” and want to repeat for the entire verse? Click the right edge of the MIDI item and drag…

Yep D, and to make midi drums sound a little more "real" you can paste your basic patterns across the song, then put rolls and crashes in various places, once it's like you want, just glue it and save it!
Easy peasy
