The Note parameter can only be accessed if the current step’s gate is set to Norm or Glide.
To write any changes to the currently selected pattern into memory press the “Write” button while any of the pattern edit pages are
displayed. Also note the “Memory Protect” has to be set to “Off” for this to be possible.
Compare - Button
This button is used to activate the Compare function. When editing a Program, it is often convenient to monitor the original in com-
parison to the newly modified version. This is called the compare function. To enable this feature simply press & hold down the
Compare button. As soon as the button is released, the modified version of the Program will once again be available.
While the Compare button is held, it is also possible to inspect any of the original programs knob parameters - simply adjust any
knob while the Compare button is being held. The display will show for a short while the value of the original programs setting then
revert back to the last edited parameter. No knob parameter can actually be altered while the Compare button is held.
If you wish to inspect the value of a modified Program knob parameter ( rather than the original Program ), simply follow the above
procedure, & once you have finished turning the relevant knob, release the Compare button quickly before the temporary display
disappears. As soon as the Compare button is released, the temporary display will revert to showing the current modified programs
parameter rather than the original programs parameter
In the “Write” phase, the Compare button performs a different function to its normal operation. The Compare button in this mode
toggles between the currently edited Performance or Program & the destination Performance or Program. When the destination
Program or Performance is selected, the Program and/or Performance buttons will flash & the Compare button will be lit indicating
that the sound currently being produced by the Supernova II Rack is the original still stored in memory.
Write - Button

ton is used to write the Global data & User Arpeggiator Patterns into memory. Refer to page 42 & 31 respectively for details.
