11.4.9 Doubling a Pattern
Your controller provides a useful shortcut to double the length and content of the current Pat-
tern. In the software, you can do this for example by copying all events, putting the Playhead
indicator at the end of the Pattern, and pasting the events (the Pattern Length is automatically
doubled).
To double the length and content of a Pattern:
1. Hold PATTERN to enter Pattern mode.
2. Select the desired Pattern by pressing its pad.
3. Press SHIFT + DUPLICATE (Double).
→ The Pattern is doubled.
Keep in mind that doubling a Pattern twice results in a Pattern that is four times as long.
11.4.10 Adding Variation to Patterns
Variation provides an abundance of inspiration and even “happy accidents” when applied to
your workflow. The variation engine contains two modes:
▪ Humanize: This mode adds natural rhythmic fluctuations to programmed sequences.
▪ Random: This mode provides randomly generated patterns or variations of your beats and
melodies based on customizable values.
Variation is available in both Pad mode and Keyboard mode and can be applied to a Sound. In
Keyboard mode the Variation Random mode contains extra parameters that allow you to add
variety to melodic content.
