Set: Mods

 (continued) 

 

 Select   

Modify all instruments. Normally, only the  instrument  being edited is modified.  To modify  all 

instruments in the pattern, hold the Select button while pressing a number button. This is not a toggle. 
You must hold Select each time you wish to modify all instruments, otherwise only the current instrument 
is modified. 

In Pad Record mode, there is no single instrument being edited. Therefore, mods always affect all instru-
ments, and the Select button has no effect. Furthermore, if a multi-pattern song is playing, all patterns in 
the song are modified. 

In Trigger Edit mode, mods affect only the triggers, and the Select button has no effect. 

 

Set: Length 

Change the number of steps in a pattern. The LED corresponding to the current time scale blinks. 

 Num  

 Press a number button to set the length of the pattern being edited. If the pattern is playing, then 

you will hear the change immediately, but the change will not be permanent until you release the Set 
button. You can play with this behavior by shortening the pattern, but then setting it back to 16 before 
releasing Set. 

In Pad Record mode, the length of all patterns in a song are modified. If the song contains patterns with 
different lengths, all of the corresponding LEDs will blink. 

In Trigger Edit mode, Set Length affects only the current pattern if triggers are per-pattern, and affects all 
patterns in the song if triggers are global. 

 

Set: Clear 

Clears all steps from  the  pattern or individual instruments.  The  bottom  row of number LEDs indicates 
those instruments which are used in the pattern being edited.  

 Num  

 Press a number button to clear all steps for the associated instrument.  

 Select   

Clear all instruments. 

In Pad Record mode, if a multi-pattern song is playing, all patterns in the song are cleared. 

In Trigger Edit mode, the triggers are cleared immediately. Number buttons and Select are not used.
