[7] SHIFT button
When in Edit mode, press this button to enable pattern shifting. Pattern shifting allows you to
rotate the active pattern forward or backward by a specified number of steps. Pattern shifting
is available when the SHIFT button glows red .
When shifting patterns, the top row of buttons sets the amount of shift (by step). The further a
button is left-of-center, the more the pattern will shift to the left (up to 4 steps). The further a
button is right-of-center, the more the pattern will shift right (up to 4 steps). When you press a
button in the top row to set a shift amount, the display will flash rapidly (the same number of
times as the shift amount) to confirm the shift has occurred.
To set a Shift amount for the selected track, simply press the top row button corresponding to
the desired value. If you press and hold the value button (long-press), you apply the Shift to all
four tracks simultaneously.
In the following example, pressing the 2 > button shifts the pattern to the right by two steps,
meaning any gate that was once assigned to step 1 is now assigned to step 3 (1+2); any gate
that was once assigned to step 2 is now assigned to step 4 (2+2), etc...
NOTE : Pattern shifting only affects those steps included within the programmed track length.
For example, if a pattern is 16-steps long, the pattern shift will affect only those 16-steps.
Steps 17-64, because they are not active, will not be shifted.
