  ROLL

Roll switches the current playing pattern to a known stored pattern that 
starts when a [ROLL] button is pressed. Access Roll by pressing any of the 
[MATRIX] buttons in row 2.

6.2.1  

Roll Track Enable

Roll can be disabled for certain tracks by holding Track Enable [TRACK SELECT 2 
or 3] and pressing the [ROLL] button that horizontally corresponds to the track 
you would like to disable.

6.2.2  

Roll Pattern Replace

Metron is filled with a selection of useful default roll patterns, but the user 
can replace any of these patterns as they please. To replace a pattern, first 
compose a 16-step replacement pattern in any track of Compose Mode. Feel 
free to use triplets as you please. When you are happy with the pattern, hold 
the corresponding [TRACK SELECT] and press the [FX FILL] button. Before 
releasing [TRACK SELECT], turn ENCODER 1 until the STEP DISPLAY shows the 
Roll selection you would like to replace. Press [ENCODER 1] to select and save. 
Roll patterns are stored in the Global Settings file.

6.2.3  

Roll Pattern Special Track Enable

The Roll feature can be pushed into advanced territory by using the Special 
Track Enable feature. This feature allows a roll to contain its own track enable 
assignment. This allows you to decouple certain rolls from the main track en-
able and use them simultaneously. Access this feature by holding the [ROLL] 
you would like to set a Special Track Enable on, and pressing Track Enable 
[TRACK SELECT 2 or 3]. Row 2 will begin to flash. If all lights in the row are 
flashing, the Roll refers to the main track enable. Press any of these buttons 
to set the Special Track Enable for the selected Roll.
