To save a pattern, press the PATTERN button – you have 

now entered the pattern menu. Here, each step button 

represents a pattern. The brightest illuminated step 

button is the currently selected pattern, while the less 

illuminated steps represent slots with patterns saved in 

them. To save a pattern, push and hold the REC button 

and press one of the step buttons representing a 

pattern slot, you wish to save. The LED will flash on the 

REC button, indicating a successful save. You can save 

up to 64 patterns in the step sequencer slots. You can 

save the same pattern to multiple slots by holding down 

the REC button and pressing on multiple step buttons – 

the REC button will flash upon each successful save. 

PATTERN SAVING

Both patterns and kits can be saved and recalled. A kit entails the voice parameter settings for all four voices, while a pattern entails the sequencer settings (last step, division/multiplication, ratchets, probabilities, 

steps, play direction, shuffle amount, groove settings) for all four voices. 

If you want to quickly save changes made to the currently playing pattern, press and hold the PATTERN button and press the REC button promptly.

To LOAD the patterns, initiate the  PATTERN menu, press 

the step button for pattern you wish to recall – the 

pattern will be loaded after the last step of the previous 

pattern has finished playing and the sequencer will 

advance to the pattern design mode.

To instantly switch to the desired pattern, press and hold 

the SHIFT button while in the PATTERN menu and press 

the desired pattern button!
