7. SHIFT button
When in Edit mode, press this button to enable
pattern shifting. Pattern shifting allows you to rotate
the active pattern forward or backward by a specified
number of steps. Pattern shifting is available when
the SHIFT button glows
red
.
When shifting patterns, the left column of buttons sets
the amount of shift (by step). Buttons above center
shift the pattern earlier in time (up to 4 steps on the
top button). Buttons below center shift the pattern
later in time (up to 4 steps on the bottom button).
When you press a button to set a shift amount, the
display will flash rapidly (the same number of times as
the shift amount) to confirm the shift has occurred.
To set a Shift amount for the selected track, simply
press the left column button corresponding to the
desired value. If you press
and hold
the value button
(long-press), you apply the Shift to all four tracks
simultaneously.
In this example, pressing the
↓2
button shifts the
pattern later by two steps, meaning any gate that was
once assigned to step 1 is now assigned to
step 3 (1+2); any gate that was once assigned to step
2 is now assigned to step 4 (2+2), etc...
NOTE : Pattern shifting only affects those steps
included within the programmed track length. For
example, if a pattern is 16-steps long, the pattern shift
will affect only those 16-steps. Steps 17-64, because
they are not active, will not be shifted.
