7.4.6 Adding Variation to Patterns
Variation provides an abundance of inspiration and even “happy accidents” when applied to
your workflow. The variation engine contains two modes:
▪ Random: This mode provides randomly generated patterns or variations of your beats and
melodies based on customizable values.
▪ Humanize: This mode adds natural rhythmic fluctuations to programmed sequences.
Variation is available in both Pad mode and Keyboard mode and can be applied to a Sound. In
Keyboard mode the Variation Random mode contains extra parameters that allow you to add
variety to melodic content.
To access Variation mode:
1. Select the Group (A–H) containing the Sound to which you want to apply the variation.
2. Press SELECT + Sound (1–16).
3. Press SHIFT + E (VARIATION) to open the on-screen overlay.
4. Turn the Encoder to navigate the various parameters and press it to enter a value.
The onscreen overlay contains the following parameters:
