See that the sequencer spot LED also runs through the 4x4 knob matrix, indicating the
knob of the step that is currently played. The LED next to the knobs of steps set lights
up red. You can change the tuning for those steps by turning the knobs. This will be
displayed in the LCD. Every pixel resembles a semitone (except Kick and Mbrane).
Now you can go through the different instruments and create melodies for the bass
drum or make melodies on the clap sound or whatever you like.
If you want to edit the sounds of the instruments again or even want to change the kit
preset, just flip to parameter mode, kit select or pitch sequence mode by pressing the
(KIT/SEQ) button several times.
If you press (SEQ) again (SEQ=off), the melodies turn off and the Alpha Base just
plays the internal pitch of every instrument.
If you like the pattern, you should store it to memory. Unless you store it - all editings
are only made in the edit buffer - it will be gone when you select another pattern. Press
and click (Knob 15) to quick-store a pattern to RAM.
For long-term storage, press (Shift/Cancel), then (Step 3) = Store Pattern.
Enjoy and check it out!
In the following short paragraphs of the quick start guide the basic functions are
described:

select mode, use the (Data) wheel or the (Up/Down) buttons to select a kit and load
it by clicking (Data) wheel or the (Enter) button.
2.2.3 Select Patterns:
Whilst EDIT/TRIG LED is off, press one of 16 step buttons to select a pattern. Use the
bank button to select one of 4 banks. In the factory settings, banks 2-4 are empty.
