Pattern views
The default pattern view displays 4 of its 8 tracks. But it is possible to display and work on 8
tracks at the same time too. While all the four positions of a step: Note/Instrument/Fx1/Fx2
are visible – only four tracks fit on the screen. Narrow the columns of the steps using the
following shortcuts:
Pattern function key+ Notekey,
Pattern function key+ Instrumentkey,
Pattern function key+ Fx1key,
Pattern function key+ Fx2key,
Combine displayed step information/properties by pressing Pattern key + Note + Instrument
key > 8 rows of Note and Instrument couples for each track are being displayed (works in
any combination). Press Pattern key itself again to bring back the default step view.

Pattern editing
Start a new project > load samples > go to Pattern > turn onEdit mode (press Rec)> use the
arrow keys to navigate > input steps manually with the grid pads or the jog-wheel or using
the tools explained below.
The current pattern position is marked with a green frame (use the jog-wheel and/or arrow
keys to overview track sequences). In order to make any changes in the patterns, to
input/change the step values, copy steps or patterns etc. – the Edit mode needs to be
activated with a press of the red function Rec key. A red frame will appear around the
currently selected step/steps marking the currently edited positions (use the arrow keys for
navigation and jog-wheel to input/change desired step properties).
Most of the step edit actions performed in the Pattern section can be done both on a single
or multiple selections of steps. One of the classic tracker strengths was the ability of quick
values/data input and edition. Knowledge and fluent use of the shortcuts mentioned below
will be crucial to achieving the coveted effect on this field.
Backspace/Delete – to remove the selected step/steps or their Fx values. To delete the
entire step > delete the Note or the Instrument number. Delete the step Fx values
