4.3 Conguring a Pattern
Pattern and step editing is performed in ‘Pattern’ Mode. The rst
requirement is to create the pattern itself where steps can later be added to
create the melody or beat. Commands for the pattern are available from the
dynamic screen buttons located at the bottom of the page. These will
change depending on the mode or selection made.
The dynamic screen buttons labelled at the bottom of the page will control options for creating patterns.
Underscored red color indicates if recording mode is required to be on to access the command.
