Select box parameters are not automatable.
6.1.11 Recording Automation in the Step Sequencer
It is also possible to record automation in the Step Sequencer. Enter the Step Sequencer by
pressing STEP. Press the pad representing the step you want to automate. The screens will
switch to parameter view. With the Page buttons left of the displays you can select parameter
pages now, with the knobs under the displays you can edit the parameters for this step. After
releasing the pad, the new values are recorded for this step.
An automation value that is set for a step is valid as long as the next automation value is set
in the pattern, so it might affect the steps that follow. If you want to automate only one of
the steps, set the parameter of the next step back to its default value.
6.1.12 Step Grid, Pattern Length Grid and Quantization
Step Grid
The Step Grid property affects all Pattern editing actions, including quantization (“note snap
to Grid”). The default setting is 1/16th, however you may use another one or disable the Step
Grid completely.
1. To change the Step Grid's quantization settings, press GRID followed by Button 4; the
right display will show you which pad represents which Grid.
2. Select a Step Grid resolution by pressing the corresponding pad.
Pattern Length Grid
The Pattern Length Grid affects the resolutions available when holding PATTERN and turning
Knob 1. Changing this to a value less than 1 allows you to dial in lengths on the Pattern page
other than a full bar for example.
