iii. Pattern
The last item in the Options menu is ‘Pattern’, which itself contains four sub-options: ‘Start Position’, ‘End Position’,
‘Direction’ and ‘Sync Rate’. Editing these settings alters playback of Patterns in interesting ways (we recommend
playing around here to achieve ‘happy accidents’). Keep in mind that Pattern changes will take effect when playback
reaches the end of the Pattern. The adjustable settings are as follows:
• Start Position - The rotary knob above ‘Start Position’ moves the start Step of the Pattern, effectively changing
Pattern length. The pad repre-senting this Step will be lit yellow, allowing you to see where the start po-sition is mov-
ing.
• End Position - The knob above moves the end step of Pattern playback, effectively changing the Pattern
length. End Position can come before the start position. If End Positions changes so that Steps containing notes are
no longer heard these pads will light red.
• Direction - This changes the course of Pattern playback. The following di-rections are available:
� Forward - As the default, ‘Forward’ indicates a typical playback Pat-tern, which begins at the start Step (start
position) and step pro-gresses to the end Step.
� Backwards - Conversely, ‘Backwards’ means playback begins at the end position and step progresses to the
start Step. You could think of this as ‘reverse’.
� Ping-Pong - During the fi rst phase, playback begins at the start po-sition and progresses to the end position.
During the second phase, playback starts at the end Step and proceeds backwards to the start position. End Steps
are repeated.
�
Random - The most experimental of the Direction options, this playback option continually selects Steps be-
tween the start and end position in a random order, resulting in repeated notes and general chaos.
• Sync Rate - This changes the rate at which steps occur relative to the BPM (either internal or external).
Choose among the following musical time values:
� 1/32 Triplet, 1/32, 1/16. Triplet, 1/16 (default), 1/8 Triplet, 1/8, 1/4 Triplet, 1/4 note values
C. Patterns View
Pressing the ‘Patterns’ button (between the Steps and Sessions buttons) opens Patterns View, where you can se-
lect MIDI patterns within the current Session. The 8 available Patterns for each track are laid out horizontally in rows
across the 8x2 pad area. Pads represent each Pattern and take the colour of its Part. Use the up and down buttons
(left of the 8x2 pad area) to navigate through the four pages of Patterns.
