Duplicating a Pattern
To duplicate a Pattern select it by pressing its corresponding pad in Pattern mode, then press
Button 3 (DUPL). The Pattern will be copied to the next empty Pattern slot available.
Copy and Paste a Pattern
To copy a Pattern to another Pattern slot, press DUPLICATE + PATTERN, press the pad of the
Pattern you want to copy, and then the target pad for the Pattern copy.
Removing a Pattern
Pressing Button 4 removes the Pattern from the current Scene (Scenes are described in detail
at chapter ↑10, Creating a Song using Scenes). Note that it does not delete the Pattern!
Pattern Length
The Pattern Length can be adjusted in Pattern mode by dialing Knob 1. The units available
here depend upon the setting of the LEN (Pattern Length) parameter in Grid mode. See chap-
ter ↑6.1.12, Step Grid, Pattern Length Grid and Quantization for further information.
6.1.2 Pad Mode
Pad mode is reached by pressing PAD MODE. It is a temporary mode and can therefore be
locked by pressing PAD MODE together with Button 1. In Pad mode you make settings on the
left display, and on the right display you will either see your Sounds or, if in Piano Roll/Key-
board mode, the notes. You can switch to 16 Velocities mode, then the velocity value of the
pads will be shown on the right display. This page will allow you to enable Input Quantize so
that your playing is immediately quantized to the current Grid value. Pad mode also allows you
to select a fixed velocity value for the pads so that the selected Sounds (like drums) will play
at the same volume no matter how hard you hit the pads.
