Notice: Once conguration scripts are introduced in the next rmware,

the behavior of the USER transition mode can be customized. More infor-

mation on this feature will be made available at that time.

3 Groups

The middle section of the ER-102 is dedicated to groups. Groups are arbi-

trary selections of steps that can be the target of transforms and/or CV/gate

modulation. Each snapshot can contain up to 16 groups.

3.1 Selections (or how to dene groups of steps)

3.1.1 Select by Step (or Pattern or Track)
The most basic way to add steps to the current focused group, is to press

the (DE)SELECT button while having the desired step focused. Pressing

the (DE)SELECT button adds the step if it is not part of the group already,

and removes the step if it is already part of the group. The selection LED

(next to the GROUP display) will light up when the focused step is in the

focused group. Furthermore, the navigation focus of the ER-101 (i.e. STEP

vs PATTERN vs TRACK) is used to determine whether a single step, or an
