XBase 09 Operating Manual Page 23
In Perform and Pattern Play modes, the 16 step buttons always correspond to the 16 patterns in
the selected bank. Bank selection does not have to be confirmed by pressing ENTER. Press
ENTER or SHIFT to quit "Bank No".
6.4.4 Scale
Activate the Scale function by pressing SHIFT and Scale. Both buttons will start blinking.
Set the step length with the UP/DOWN buttons. The possible settings are:
1/16, 1/32, 1/8 Triplets or 1/16 Triplets
The four scale LEDs show the selected scale.
Directly above the step buttons you will find four sets of stripes in two colours, labelled A,B, C
and D respectlively. These stripes indicate where the strong beats (quarter notes) are to be found
in the four different scalings.
In a pattern with a 32th scaling, the first beat is on step 1, the second beat on step 9, exactly where
the corresponding orange stripes begin on the left.
The same applies for the other scalings. In order for the scale settings to make sense, the variable
"last step" , which determines the last step of a pattern, is set automatically.
The combination of the settings "Scale" and "last step" determines the time siganture and tempo.
You can’t convert a 4/4 pattern into a triplet pattern simply by changing the scale. The
programming of the individual steps has to be adapted.
Patterns programmed in scales B (32th) and D (16th triplets) extend into the next higher
numbered pattern. This should be borne in mind when you edit them. For further information,
read the following section "Last Step".
Press ENTER to select the new scale or SHIFT to abort.
6.4.5 Last Step
Activate the "Last Step" function by pressing SHIFT and LAST STEP. Both buttons will start
blinking.
Use the UP/DOWN arrows to set the pattern length (number of steps). Possible values are 1 to
255.
Press ENTER to set "Last Step" or SHIFT to abort.
If the number of steps is greater than 16, the selected pattern will occupy two or more consecutive
pattern memory slots that are played back consecutively but which have to edited individually.
If, for example, you set the last step for pattern 05 to 32, selecting pattern 05 in perform/pattern
play mode will cause the step buttons 5 and 6 to light up together, These patterns will always be
played back together, 05 after 06.
