Step Edit Mode 
Unlike the normal Edit Mode, which applies parameters globally across all steps in a track,
Step Edit Mode enables you to modify certain parameters on a step-by-step basis. Specifically, you
can edit Gate Length, Delay and Probability on a per-step basis, as well as assign ratchets to
individual steps.
To edit a parameter on a per-step basis:
1. From the default PLAY mode, select the Track and Page you wish to edit (using techniques
previously discussed), then long-press ( > 1 sec) the EDIT button to enter Step Edit mode.
The EDIT LED will light, and four of the Edit Mode buttons will flash red. These indicate the four
parameters you can set on a per-step basis:
○ GATE : Sets a step’s Gate Length
○ CLK ÷ : Sets number of Ratchets on a step (see Ratcheting )
○ DELAY : Sets a step’s Delay
○ PROB : Sets a step’s Probability
2. Press one of the flashing four buttons to edit the corresponding parameter on a per-step basis.
That button will flash yellow and any steps with a per-step edit already assigned to it will light
up red . The current position is displayed by a green LED (which advances through the pattern if
Steppy is running).
3. Press whichever of the 16 multifunction buttons corresponds to the step you wish to edit. This
puts you into the step’s Parameter Edit mode.
If you pressed buttons 1-8, you will then use the bottom row of buttons to set the parameter
value for that step (using the same methodology discussed previously for the Edit Mode
description of the GATE, DELAY and PROB parameter settings). If you pressed buttons 9-16,
then you’ll set that step’s parameter value using the top row of buttons.
NOTE : Ratchets are set using the CLK ÷ button, and are described further in Ratcheting , later
in this manual.
4. Once you’ve set the desired value for a step, press the same multifunction (step) button to back
up one level, exiting the step’s Parameter Edit mode.
