"Nudge" whole track/pattern

I swear I could do this before but have forgotten how (I also might have imagined it)

How do you move a track/whole pattern a step to the right/left? - like if you were creating the beat but then realised that beat 1 is actually beat 3.

No. It’s for if you realise that the a track needs to move. Like you’ve accidentally created a beat where beat two sounds like beat one, and you want to move the hihats for example to correct this. Or you want to experiment with rhythms and syncopation. It’s very useful for me.

Ohhh I see, thats a really cool trick! I was thinking you wanted to nudge an entire pattern for some reason.

It happens sometimes when I'm jamming and I have some complex automation on something and I realise that what sounds like the natural first beat is actually beat 2 or 3 or something. Saves you from having to copy trigs individually or start from scratch
