 Reset automation: BeatBox 2's own presets contain automations. These are
dynamic sound parameters like filter curves or pitch changes. This command
allows you to completely remove these for the selected instruments.
Pattern editor buttons
Pattern: Use the <> buttons to switch through the different patterns. The
arrow to the right opens a list of all available patterns, and the save button
stores the current pattern.
Clear track/all: All events for the selected instrument (track) or all events
for the pattern (all) are removed by clicking this button.
Bar selection: The bar you wish to edit can be selected via the
corresponding number button. Use the “Follow” button to select follow
mode, i.e. the step display follows the steps of the currently played beat.
All shows all bars of the pattern.
"1>2-4" Auto copy: If more than one bar is set as the pattern length, "Auto
copy" mode makes sure that the drum notes set in the first bar are
automatically placed into the next bars. This also makes it easy to create a
continuous beat, even with a loop length of four bars. Notes set in the bars
further back are not affected by the "Auto draw" function, which, for
example, makes faint variations detectable only in the fourth bar.
Bars: The maximum length of a drum pattern is four beats. The length can
be selected via the small scroll bar.
Shuffle: This controller changes BeatBox 2's timing. If the fader is turned
to the right, the eighth of a rhythm is played more and more like a triplet. If
that sounds a bit too abstract – simply try it out, ideally with a pure 1/16 hi
hat figure; you'll soon see what the shuffle fader is capable of.
Grid: Here you can set the time resolution of the BeatBox. You can choose
from 1/8 notes (only for very simple rhythms), 1/16 (default), 1/32 (for more
refined constructions).
