Note that when you copy an instrument or region, any samples mapped to the instrument or region are also copied. If you paste the instrument or region into a different .gig file, the samples are also pasted, but the Editor compares them with the samples in the target file and discards any duplicates.

•There are a variety of ways to paste depending on the item you are working with. For example, regions can be pasted to the same key range or you can specify where to paste them. This will all be covered in detail in each area of the Editor.
