NOTES
Play Modes.
A quick reference summary of play modes available. Descriptions are for
guidance and don't represent an exact per step description. The actual
playback behaviour may depend on track length in some play modes. Play
modes will determine the step behaviour and order of playback, irrespective
of whether notes exist or not.
Play Mode Description
Forward
Default play mode. Starting at step 1, plays through to the last step. Plays all
steps to the end, then restarts from step 1 and continues to loop play.
Reverse
Starting at the last step, plays through to the rst step. Plays all steps in
reverse, end to start, then restarts from the end and continues to loop play.
First Steps
Repeats rst 4 steps instead of 4 to 8. Shufes steps in playback order later
in the pattern especially when extending step pages.
Go Go
Similar to rst steps but includes reversing playback across sections.
2stepper
Plays only the rst 8 steps from the start, then reverses on the 9
th
step
playing backwards to the start. With extended step count pages steps may
shufe, but still only across the rst 8.
Thumper
Plays across max 32 steps. Plays forward. Plays the step 7 twice, skipping
step 8. Cycle repeats for each set of 8 steps, ie doubles 15, skips 16,
doubles 23, skips 24 etc.
Doublestep
Plays across max 32 steps. Skips 14 & 16 and instead plays steps 13, 15 &

rst 16 steps, then shufes rst and second step per bar on steps 17-32.
Tristram
Shufes step forward and backwards playback across only rst 1-5 steps
irrespective of length of pattern. Shufe behaviour is changed based on the
total pattern length despite only playing up to the rst 5 steps.
Funkster
Plays only steps 1, 3 & 5 forwards and backwards. The behaviour of the 3
step shufe is based on the overall track length.
Trigger
Plays across max 32 steps. Shufes playback across only steps 1, 2, 4, 5,
and 14 or 30 depending on the total step length of the track.
