When you select
Mixer View
, you will immediately be able to see where Scenes are already stored, as
their pads will be lit bright white, or bright gold when you press Shift .
Assigning Pattern Chains to a Scene does not affect current playback and will not select the Scene
nor change your Scene Chain (see below) if you are already in Play Mode: the selected Scene will start
when the current Pattern or Pattern Chain is completed – see “Queuing Scenes”
page 62 .
Scene data is stored with the current Project when you perform a Save by pressing Save
19
twice.
If a Scene pad is pulsing green, it indicates i) that this is the currently selected Scene, and ii) that the
currently selected Patterns match those assigned to the Scene. If the selected Patterns are changed
in
Patterns View
, the Scene pad will return to dim white. If the matching Patterns are selected once
again, the Scene pad will once again pulse green. Note that this behaviour will only occur for the most
recently selected Scene – if you select the Patterns of a Scene other than the most recently selected
one, the corresponding pad will not turn green.
Chaining Scenes to create an arrangement
Just as you can chain Patterns together in
Patterns View
, you can chain Scenes together in
Mixer View
to create longer sequences. You do this by holding down the pad for the first Scene, then pressing the
pad for the last Scene: these pads and all those between them will illuminate green. The Scene Chain
to be played will now comprise the Scenes assigned to all the pads between the two you pressed;
e.g., if you want a Scene Chain made up of Scenes 1 to 5, hold the Scene 1 pad and press the Scene
5 pad. Each Scene will play the Pattern Chain assigned to it once and then switch to the next Scene.
The Scenes will play in numerical order, and then repeat.
