How do I listen to the pre-programmed patterns of the Sirius?
There are 142 factory-programmed patterns in the Sirius, the ROM-patterns.
These patterns cannot be deleted or overwritten and serve as a basic stock of new grooves and
USER-patterns. You can combine them randomly to form new songs.
You can also use the separate motifs of these ROM patterns to create new ones. These patterns also
give you an excellent overview of the musical and stylistic versatility of the Sirius. In order to listen to
the patterns systematically proceed as follows:
Press the EDIT-Key next to the display. With the PAGE/BANK-Key you choose page 2 of the menu.
Now select the Edit-pattern menu by pressing the F1 Key.
Press the F1 Key once again to access the menu for the ROM- and USER patterns.
Here you can choose which pattern-type you want to listen to. If you haven«t created any patterns
yourself yet, the USER-pattern section will be empty. Use the F1-Key to select the area of the ROM-
pattern:
Once you have selected this page on the menu the sequencer of the Sirius will start up. Now you
can scroll through the 142 factory-programmed patterns using the VALUE/TEMPO-dial.
Once you have selected a pattern which you want to have a closer look at, press the F2 Key (OK) to
get to the EDIT-PATTERN menu. Now you can look at single tracks closely, store new motifs or put
other ROM or USER-motifs into the pattern.
