Duplicating Material

There are many different ways to create musical material in Stella. It can be loaded from files using load or import, created using new, copy and paste, computed by macros such as object, thread, merge, algorithm and generator, or captured with record. The easiest way to create new material is to duplicate existing structure.

Stella [Top-Level]: duplicate pulse pulse2
Pasted Pulse2 to Top-Level.

     3. #<THREAD: Pulse2> 
Stella [Top-Level]:
