This is some DAW territory that I’d like to see on the Hapax, but I just cannot figure it out:

Imagine you record a veeeery long pattern, let’s say a sequence of many different chords of 30 bars.

Now you realize, you’d like like to add another chord and therefore a new bar in the middle of it all.

In Ableton you would use the “insert time” command. But I see no way to do it on the Hapax. In small or short patterns one can do some copy delete paste tricks to make it happen (by copying just a small/specific section). But in long patterns it is not possible to select SOME pages. Only the current one or all…
