Pattern editing
Start a new project > load samples > go to Pattern > turn onEdit mode (press Rec)> use the
arrow keys to navigate > input steps manually with the grid pads or the jog-wheel or using
the tools explained below.
The current pattern position is marked with a green frame (use the jog-wheel and/or arrow
keys to overview track sequences). In order to make any changes in the patterns, to
input/change the step values, copy steps or patterns etc. – the Edit mode needs to be
activated with a press of the red function Rec key. A red frame will appear around the
currently selected step/steps marking the currently edited positions (use the arrow keys for
navigation and jog-wheel to input/change desired step properties).
Most of the step edit actions performed in the Pattern section can be done both on a single
or multiple selections of steps. One of the classic tracker strengths was the ability of quick
values/data input and edition. Knowledge and fluent use of the shortcuts mentioned below
will be crucial to achieving the coveted effect on this field.
Backspace/Delete – to remove the selected step/steps or their Fx values. To delete the
entire step > delete the Note or the Instrument number. Delete the step Fx values
separately. Deleting an Fx value itself wonʼt erase the entire step, just the selected Fx.
Copy/Paste (Shift + Copy) – to move existing steps/selections/tracks/patterns around
quickly. It is possible Copy/Paste the selected Fx value only.
Insert/Home – press to add an empty step and move down all the steps already existing on
the track/tracks.
Use Backspace (Shift + Delete) to move all steps on the track in the up direction.
