2- Operation Overview
Acid8 enables you to edit patterns and songs under three main layers:
Step Mode
At this lowest level you create and modify patterns, step by step.
A pattern consists of 16 steps, but up to 15 of these steps can be skipped to
form shorter patterns.
Pattern Mode
In pattern mode you can select the pattern that is being played, you can also
copy/paste patterns and add them to a chain
Chain Mode
When chain mode is active, Acid8 will automatically sequence patterns of your
choice to form a song. 5 chains of up to 8 patterns are available.
