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.
