PATTERNS
SETTING PATTERN LENGTH
The pattern length is set by selecting the last step of the pattern. The last step can be set
in any of the four pattern sections, allowing a maximum pattern length of 64 steps.
When changing the pattern length while the sequencer is running, the change will not
take effect until the pattern loops.
In TIME mode, the section button can be used to select between the four sections of the
pattern.
The last step of the pattern is shown on the pattern step LEDs if the last step is within the
selected section. If the last step is not in the current selected section, the section LED for
the section which contains the last step will light dimly.
To set a new pattern length, while in TIME mode, select the section which will contain the
new last step and click the pattern step button for the desired last step. For example, to
set a pattern to be 28 steps long, select section two and click the pattern step button 12.
Setting the last step this way will reactivate any skipped steps in the pattern. To change
the pattern length without reactivating skipped steps, you must use the ACTIVE STEPS
function to skip or activate steps at the end of the pattern.
