4.7 Quick Start Step Creation.
Patterns are just empty containers and will require steps to be added to
create a beat of melody. A step is essentially a note, instrument (based on a
sample) and two effect slots. This section gives a quick start on step
composition before moving to more in depth coverage in a future section.
▌ ADDING STEPS IN A PATTERN
1. Press [Pattern] to select the pattern mode page.
2. To move the position vertically, Press [Up] or [Down] or Turn (Jog). To
move the position horizontally across tracks, or Press [Left] or [Right].
Ranges can be selected using [Shift] + (Jog) or Arrow Buttons.
3. Select recording mode, Press [Rec]. The steps selected will appear red
as opposed to green when in normal playback mode.
4. To add a step, Hold the dedicated step function button and set the step
using the grid pads or the jog wheel.
• Hold [Note] + [PAD] or Turn (Jog). Adds a note value to the step.
• Hold [Instrument] + [PAD] or Turn (Jog). Adds an instrument from
the instrument list. This will require instruments to be available in the
instrument list. Default notes are also assigned.
• Hold [FX1] + [PAD] or Turn (Jog). Adds an effect from the effect list
to the step
• Hold [FX2] + [PAD] or Turn (Jog). Adds an effect from the effect list
to the step
5. Subsequently pressing [PAD] will add a step based on the selected
parameter and pad selected.
6. Pressing [Rec] + [Play] will allow live recording of adding steps.
▌ EDITING EXISTING STEPS IN A PATTERN
1. Press [Pattern] to select the pattern mode page.
2. To move the position vertically, Press [Up] or [Down] or Turn (Jog). To
move the position horizontally across tracks, or Press [Left] or [Right].
Ranges can be selected using [Shift] + (Jog) or Arrow Buttons.
3. Select recording mode, Press [Rec]. The steps selected will appear red
