Variations
This tool allows you to create alternative versions of your tracks. These can then be switched
manually during playback. Press one or more of the Variation function pads to make quick
changes to the entire track. Each track has its own corresponding Variation pad.
Use the Quick Copy function to duplicate the corresponding track pattern, including all of its
steps and settings to create a new variation. You can then make desired changes to the new
variation. When you have more than one pattern variation on a track, you can then manually
trigger the variations to add interest to your tracks.
The currently active variation is indicated in pink pad color.
Non-empty variations are indicated with dim pink pad colors.
Each track has 16 variation pad slots available.
Both audio and MIDI tracks have separate variations available.
Press a pad to change the active variation.
The Variation switches instantly if the pattern is not being played, or
sequentially at the
end of the currently playing pattern when the sequencer is running.
During the sequencer playback, you can press a Variation pad while holding the Shift
key to perform an
immediate switch (on the next step).
Press and hold a pad to select a variation and then:
Press another pad to copy the selected variation to it,
Use the Delete (Shift + Fill key combo) to get rid of the variation.
Variations actions are accessible from the Perform and Patterns screens too.
Important:
There is a Variation Page setting in the Main menu. It allows you to determine if the use
of a single variation slot will display available only variation slots for Separate tracks, or
for All Tracks at the same time.
Click and hold the encoder and select a variation pad on any of the tracks to trigger the
launch
of a vertical
column
of all the available variations at once.
