PATTERNS

Patterns are where the programming action takes place. Patterns and pattern chains are

assigned to tracks, selecting patterns was covered in the TRACK SELECT section of the

manual.

Each pattern has separate settings for PATTERN TYPE, LENGTH, TIME SCALE, SHUFFLE

and SKIPPED STEPS. This means that you could have patterns within a pattern chain that

have completely different settings, which can create interesting variations on timing and

groove.

PATTERN TYPES

Engine has four different types of patterns, DRUM type patterns, SYNTH1 type patterns

SYNTH2 type patterns and CONTROL type patterns.

Tracks can have any combination of drum, synth1, synth2 or control type patterns,

meaning you can use any type of pattern in any of the eight available tracks.

In the next sections we will cover the different pattern types and how they can be used.

TIP: Each pattern type has different capabilities for programming, but

that doesn't mean that a drum type pattern couldn't be used to

sequence a synth for example.
