User Manual

If you only want to quickly select another Pattern without using any of the editing com-
mands available, we recommend you to unpin the Pattern mode so you can quickly use the
shortcut PATTERN + pad to select the desired Pattern.
7.7.3 Creating Patterns
First of all, you don’t need to explicitly create a new empty Pattern before filling it with events:
▪ If no Pattern is selected, as soon as you create an event (in the empty Event area of the
software or by recording pads on your controller) a new Pattern will be created for it! See
section ↑7.4.2, Creating Events/Notes for more information on creating events.
▪ If you double-click in a cell of the Arranger, a Clip is created referencing a new empty
Pattern for the corresponding Group at that location in your arrangement (see section
↑13.1.5, Creating and Removing Clips).
You can still manually create a new empty Pattern in the software:
1. Open the Pattern Manager (see ↑7.7.1, The Pattern Manager and Pattern Mode).
2. If it is not already selected, click the desired pad grid on the right to select the Pattern
bank where you want to create a Pattern.
The selected Pattern bank is surrounded by a white border, and the left part of the Pat-
tern Manager displays the Pattern slots in that bank.
