Copying Patters For Different Instruments

Hi, I have a question regarding the patterns and the instruments they play. I made a patter with a sample and really liked the sound so want to layer a vst synth over the top playing the same melody. In an ideal situation here, duplicating the track with pattern and some quick way to change the instrument number without having to go and edit each note with the instrument. I have tried every which way to find a quick solution, looking in all menus etc, but cant find it. Apologies if this is something really basic, but help would be much appreciated, thanks…

Try this…

2 options
1.select the pattern , go to advance edit , switch instruments
or
2. use the new lua script .( real timesaver )

Ahh yes, just what I am looking for. That tool looks like a real time saver. Thanks guys. :)
