off / on

These two parameters are used to define the user programmable rhythm pattern. Before
entering the pattern, you must set its length via the

Length

parameter. Use the

Position

parameter to select the position of the pattern you want to edit. Then use the

Trigger

parameter to define the state of the selected position. All active positions are marked with a
"*" in the display, all inactive positions show a "-". Note that you can also create triplet
rhythms by setting the pattern length to 3, 6 or 12 and selecting a triplet value for the

Clock

parameter.
