'''Cloning''' is a feature on OS that lets users create copies of existing instruments. The clones use the same instrument samples as the base instrument, but changing the settings of the clone doesn't affect the base instrument. There's no limit to the number of clones that can be created, however for certain instruments (particularly 8-bit sine, square, triangle, and saw) too many clones can be expensive and make the sequence lag. This feature became first available on the test website on April 23, 2023, and was pushed to the main site on April 28, after many requests since the early | '''Cloning''' is a feature on OS that lets users create copies of existing instruments.

just needs to click the "Clone" button in advanced instrument settings to clone an instrument. One would presumably need to click the "Delete" button to delete a clone. | |||

* '''Better delay:''' | * '''Better delay:''' Typically, if you want a custom delay effect, you have to copy the entire instrument's notes and paste them with an offset. Without clones this just makes a mess, but with clones, you can keep them organised. Additionally, you can give the clones different settings, such as making the delayed notes sound muffled or scuffed with EQ. | ||

For example, bass boosting the kick drum, while also treble boosting the hi-hat. By moving some stems to a clone, the clones can be equalized separately. | ||
* '''Extending instrument ranges:''' Without cloning you can detune an instrument up or down an octave to change the range of notes you have access too. With cloning you can also detune a clone down by an octave to access lower notes too. | * '''Extending instrument ranges:''' Without cloning you can detune an instrument up or down an octave to change the range of notes you have access too.

* '''Reducing marker usage:''' Often markers are used to change instrument settings between sections. This could be done using clones instead, which reduces the number of markers, and is much easier to do. Markers only really need to be used for smooth (blended) settings changes. | * '''Reducing marker usage:''' Often markers are used to change instrument settings between sections.
