the next transition is performed.

type’ control knob.

pattern key and set the ‘size’ of the pattern.

key parameters and adjust settings using the control knobs. Watch the preview output
as you refine the key.
TIP Some patterns can have their center point repositioned. Use the joystick to move
the position of the pattern. If you need to reset the position, navigate to the ‘pattern
type’ setting, change it to another pattern and then return to your chosen pattern to
reset the position to its default.
