Use Rows 1–4 to set the total length of the sequence in steps. When all tracks are set to the same length, the pad
for the value of the last step in the sequence will be lit green. If there are tracks with differing lengths, no selection
will be shown.
Use Row 6 to set the Time Division for the step sequencer. This determines the note length of each step:
1/4 1/8 1/16 1/32
1/4T 1/8T 1/16T 1/32T
If all tracks are set to the same time division, the selected value will be lit green. If there are tracks with differing
time divisions, no selection will be shown.
You can also use the encoder to change these values as shown on the display. Turn the encoder to browse
each Step Sequencer category. Press the encoder to open it, and then turn the encoder to browse the available
options. When you are finished, press the encoder again to confirm your selection. Some options in the display
will prompt you to select a track. See the following section for track-specific Step Sequencer settings.

To configure the track-specific Step Sequencer settings, press a TRACK SELECT button while the global Step
Sequencer configuration is open. You can also press and hold multiple TRACK SELECT buttons to edit more than
one track at a time. The TRACK SELECT button for the selected track(s) will be brightly lit in white. When editing
multiple tracks at once, selections may not be shown on the pad if they differ between the selected tracks.
From here, you can adjust the following settings directly from the pads:
