virtual copy? (copy stays identical with original, even when changed)

Is it possible to create a virtual copy of a sequence to another track?

What I mean: I have two pulverisateur synths with different sounds and I want them to play identical notes. I would like to have a sequence in the track of pulverisateur 1 and a virtual copy in the track of pulverisateur 2, in a way that the copy stays identical with the original, even when I change the original.

Different approach: is it possible to route a track to two different synths? This way all notes in the track would be played by both synths simultaniously.

Use a notesplitter device. Place it down, right-click on the notesplitter and click on "Add note track" it will add a note track in the timeline that will come from the notesplitter through all three outputs.

You could also just copy-paste the notes from one synth to the other. Ctrl + click & drag.

Additionally there is a trick to have a linked note region, so that if you change the notes of one region, the other will also change. The only way to create this (i think) is to double click on an empty note track region, drag that empty region over the middle of your melody so that it will split it into two, and in total you will have three note regions. you will notice both your melody note regions have a little indent on the top right, this means they are linked together.

Shift+Ctrl+drag a note region from one track to another. The copies will reflect changes done to either.
