its bits set/cleared as follows:
Bit 0 STEP_BYTE_MASK_ON_OFF_BIT – 1=Step On, 0=Step Off
Bit 1 RESERVED – Reserved / Not used
Bit 2 STEP_BYTE_MASK_PROBABILITY_BIT – 1=Step On, 0=Step Off
Bit 3 STEP_BYTE_MASK_FLAM_BIT – 1=Step On, 0=Step Off
Bit 4 STEP_BYTE_MASK_NOTE_REPEAT_ON_OFF_BIT – 1=Step On, 0=Step Off
Bit 5 STEP_BYTE_MASK_NOTE_REPEAT_LS_BIT 00 = Repeat 1, 01 = Repeat 2, 10 = Repeat 4,
11 = Repeat 8
Bit 6 STEP_BYTE_MASK_NOTE_REPEAT_MS_BIT 00 = Repeat 1, 01 = Repeat 2, 10 = Repeat 4,
11 = Repeat 8
Bit 7 RESERVED
Pattern Parameters
Some of the parameters in the Pattern Data le are comparable to the Global
Parameters. When these parameters are in use (i.e. the corresponding
Preference is set to Pattern), selecting a new pattern for playback will trigger
the corresponding change in the sequencer. A change to the Step Size is one
such example.
