2. In the Pattern Editor, open the Pattern Manager and click the desired Pattern slot to se-
lect it (see section ↑10.7.2, Selecting Patterns and Pattern Banks for more information).
→ Upon your selection, the Pattern is inserted into the selected Section:
▪ The Pattern replaces any previous Pattern for that Group in the Section.
▪ The Pattern displays its name and color.
▪ The Pattern is inserted at the beginning of the Section. If the Pattern is longer than the
Section, the Section is extended to include the entire Pattern. If the Pattern is shorter than
the Section, the Pattern is automatically repeated in order to fill the entire Section.
▪ The corresponding Pattern will now be played by that Section.
▪ Additionally this Pattern is loaded in the Pattern Editor, ready to be modified.
Patterns and the Pattern Editor are described in chapter ↑10, Working with Patterns.
Creating a New Empty Pattern in Arranger View
You can also create a new empty Pattern:
► In the Arranger, double-click the cell located in the column of the desired Section and in
the row of the desired Group.
→ A new empty Pattern is automatically created in the selected Section.
Removing a Pattern in Arranger View
You can also remove a Pattern from a Section in Arranger view:
► To remove a Pattern, right-click it (on macOS: [Ctrl]-click it).
