Pattern Editor Parameters

Page buttons

A pattern can contain up to 64 steps. These are distributed over four pages that you can access with the page buttons on the upper left of the editor.

During playback, the pages are switched automatically, so that the playback position is always displayed in the editor. Additionally, an indicator above the step display shows which step is being played.

Lock button
  • To deactivate automatic page switching, activate the Lock button below the page buttons.

    If the Lock button is activated, you can still use the playback indicator to the right of the page buttons to see which page is currently playing.

Pattern functions buttons

The function buttons below the page buttons allow you to edit entire patterns.

  • Click Clear Pattern to delete all pattern steps in the editor.

  • Click Reverse Pattern to reverse the pattern.

    This mirrors the pattern around its middle step.

  • To shift the rhythm of the phrase, click Shift Pattern Left or Shift Pattern Right .

    If you shift the rhythm of the pattern to the left, the first step is moved to the end. If you shift the pattern to the right, the last step is moved to the beginning.

  • Click Duplicate Pattern to copy all events between the pattern start and end markers and paste them after the end marker.

    If any events are located after the end marker, these are deleted.
