Setting the Step Grid to “Off” and then using Nudge will shift events/notes in extremely
small increments. This can be used to creatively add groove to Patterns — for example,
shifting the snare drum so that it is ever so slightly late, or “in the pocket” (something a
funk drummer does naturally!).

6.2.6
Compare/Split
This function allows you to compare a selected Pattern with its previous state, for example if
you have added or edited events. This is an easy way to create variations or to compare two
versions of a Pattern. If you edit a Pattern, its Pattern slot is marked with an asterisk in the
software’s Pattern Editor. This means that this Pattern change is temporarily saved in a buffer
and can be compared with the original state. If you select another Pattern, the latest state of
the Pattern will be stored and the Pattern slot will no longer show the asterisk.
►
To switch between the edited Pattern and its original state, press
SHIFT
+ pad
3
(
COM-
PARE
).
If you want to keep both the new version and the old version, do the following:
►
