ARTURIA – BeatStep Pro – USER’S MANUAL 37
The Red LED indicates the current position of the pattern. The White LED means that the
last step in the pattern is during steps 17-32.
If you decide you want more than 32 steps for this pattern, hold the LST STEP button
and press >> until the White LED is over the right number. Then press the appropriate
Step button and you’re ready to create.
5.2.6.3 Editing steps 17-32
If you want to focus on steps 17-32 while editing, here’s what to do:
•
Disable Pattern Follow mode (turn off the << >> buttons).
•
Press >> once to move the Red LED over #32.
The Step buttons now show the status of steps 17-32. You can play the pattern while
editing, if you want; it will play all 32 steps, but the Step buttons will stay focused on
steps 17-32.
Simply edit the steps as desired with the Step buttons and encoders. When you’re
finished you can re-enter Pattern Follow mode with the << >> buttons if you like.
5.2.7 Pads
When the Drum sequencer is selected the 16 pads send note data over MIDI, including
velocity. Pads 1-8 send gate on/off signals only to the Drum Gates on the rear panel.
The pads also have secondary functions which are accessed by holding SHIFT and
pressing one of the pads. These combinations allow you to specify the following pattern
parameters:
5.2.7.1 Playback mode
The first three buttons on the bottom row of pads are used with the SHIFT button to
select the Playback mode (i.e., the playback direction). Here’s what each option does,
using a one-bar 4/4 pattern as an example:
•
Forward: plays pattern beats 1, 2, 3, 4 | 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
•
Reverse: plays pattern beats 4, 3, 2, 1 | 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.
•
Alternate: plays through the pattern beats first in one direction, then the other.
The result: 1, 2, 3, 4 | 4, 3, 2, 1 | 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
The default setting is Forward.
5.2.7.2 Time division
Depending on the current setting, this parameter can be a quick way to double the
playback rate of your drum pattern or cut it in half. Triplet options are available, too.
To set the time division, press and hold the SHIFT button and then press the pad that
corresponds to the timing you want:
•
Quarter notes (1/4)
•
Eighth notes (1/8)
•
Sixteenth notes (1/16)
•
Thirty-second notes (1/32)
To switch any of those time divisions into their triplet values, hold SHIFT and then press
the Triplet pad.
The default setting is 1/16.
