PATTERN PLAYBACK & EDIT

05

There are a total of 64 patterns available to the user, which are grouped in eight banks of eight patterns.

 

 

Pressing the 

STEP 

buttons 1 to 8 select a pattern in the current bank, and pressing the 

BANK / STEP

 buttons  

 

 

increases or decreases the current bank index.

 

 

The four LEDs above the 

BANK / STEP

 buttons indicate the current bank and for banks 5 to 8 the LEDs    

 

 

surrounding the current index will half glow to indicate the higher banks.

 

 

UNDO / REDO

 are operative during playback mode and will affect changes last made during editing.

 

 

Pressing the 

CHANNEL / USER PATCH

 button ONLY during playback toggles LIVE pattern switching on and off.

 

 

This allows instant jumping between patterns as buttons are pressed in realtime.

 

 

Holding 

SHIFT 

during playback and pressing the step buttons access the LIVE effects.

 

 

Holding 

SHIFT 

while play is stopped accesses the 

SHIFT 

functions such as copy & paste.

Upon initial entry into pattern edit mode the encoder will change the currently selected instrument.

                                                                  

Pressing a 

STEP 

button will write the current instrument into the selected step if it is empty, or it will overwrite the last instrument 

type on that step. Pressing the 

STEP 

button again will disable that trigger and leave the step empty.

Holding 

SHIFT 

button down while pressing a 

STEP 

button in instrument edit mode will 'pickup' the instrument in that slot, 

changing the current instrument to the selection on that step.

Holding 

SHIFT 

button down while pressing the encoder will cycle through the step parameter editing modes: VOLUME, PITCH, 

DECAY and back to instrument trigger. During the parameter editing modes the 

STEP 

buttons will select which step you wish to 

adjust and will not set or erase sounds. The encoder can then be used to adjust the VOLUME, PITCH or DECAY parameter level.

UNDO / REDO 

will revert your last instrument trigger edits upto eight times, each pattern has its own undo list so repeatedly 

pressing 

UNDO 

will not affect any other patterns outside the one you are editing.
