You can now turn the tie-forward setting on/off for this step by pressing pad 24 as shown above.
To make the tied note work you need to set the gate length so that the note ends just before the
next note is played or overlaps with it.
In this example, the note to tie is on the first step so setting the gate length to 16 steps means that it
will end just before the next pattern is triggered as follows:
9
5
11 12 13 14 15 16
1 2 3 7
10
64 8
25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
17
18
19 20 21 22 23 24

If this pattern is the only one selected to play in Patterns View then the note will now play
indefinitely. Alternatively create a new note of the same pitch at the beginning of the next pattern to
play in the pattern chain and the two notes will be tied together.
In Note View, tied notes are shown as orange when the steps are held down as opposed to the usual
red. If notes are added to a step that already has a tied note assigned, they will not inherit the tie-
forward setting and will be shown in red. This ensures that overdubbing on a step with a tied note
does not result in multiple ties.
It is also the case that newly added notes will have their own gate lengths, which may be different
to the length of any pre-existing notes.
If you do want to add a new note to the tie then simply use Gate View to select the step and turn the
tie-forward setting off and back on again to apply the tie-forward setting to all the notes on the step
just as when you edit the gate length on a step, all notes inherit the same new gate length.
