Creating a New Empty Pattern in Ideas View
You can also create a new empty Pattern in Ideas view:
► In the Ideas view, double-click the empty Pattern slot located in the column of the de-
sired Group.
→ A new empty Pattern is created.
Removing a Pattern in Ideas View
You can also remove a Pattern from a Scene in Ideas view:
► Click the highlighted Pattern for any Group to remove it from the Scene.
→ The Pattern is removed from the Scene:
▪ The corresponding Pattern will not be played by that Scene anymore.
▪ The Pattern itself is left untouched.
Assigning a Pattern to a Scene on the Controller
Assigning a Pattern is done in Pattern mode.
First select the Scene to which you want to assign a Pattern:
1. Press NAVIGATE + Button 2 (IDEAS) to enter Ideas view.
2. Press and hold SCENE to enter Scene mode.
3. Press Button 7 and 8 to select the desired Scene bank.
4. Press the pad corresponding to the Scene in which you want to assign a Pattern.
Then create the Pattern for the desired Group:
1. Press the desired Group button A–H to select the Group from which you want to select a
Pattern.
2. Press and hold PATTERN.
Both your pads and the right display give you an overview of the available Patterns. Dim lit
pads indicate the available Patterns. If a Pattern already exists in the selected Scene for that
Group, the referenced Pattern is highlighted and its pad is fully lit.
