Combining Nudge and Length adjustments
Nudge and Length make separate adjustments to the pattern, and may be used independently.
However, the effect of Nudge on shortened Pattern lengths differs from its effect on the
Pattern’s original length.
Nudge only shifts “active” steps in the Pattern. Thus if a Pattern of 16 steps is shortened to,
say, 12 steps, the data for Steps 13 to 16 – which continues to exist, but is rendered temporarily
inactive by the reduced Length - is not shifted.
Remember that when using Nudge with Patterns of less than 16 steps, the effect of Nudge is
restricted to the Pattern length. Steps outside the Pattern length will be unchanged.
Chaining Patterns
Once you’ve created several Patterns for one or more tracks, you can start to chain them
together to make a longer sequence. You do this on a per-track basis: to chain four Patterns
together on a track, press and hold the pad for the lowest-numbered Pattern required and then
press the pad for the highest-numbered Pattern required. For example, if you want to chain the
Patterns in memories 3 to 6 together on a particular track, hold Pad 3 down and then press Pad
6. You’ll see that all four pads now illuminate brightly in the track colour, to conrm that they are
all now part of the chained sequence.
What’s important to remember is that the Patterns you chain together must be contiguous,
that is, numerically consecutive. You can chain Patterns 1, 2, 3 and 4 together, or 5, 6 and 7
together, or 4 and 5 together, but you can’t chain 1,2 and 6 together.
The following example will illustrate these points.

Pads with stars are pulsing dim/bright
The Pattern View example above shows a possible arrangement of Patterns for a 4-pattern (64-
step) sequence. We are using four Synth 1 Patterns (Pads 1 to 4), one Synth 2 Pattern (Pad 1),
two Drum 1+2 Patterns (Pads 2 and 3) and two Drum 3+4 Patterns (Pads 1 and 2).
