The Pattern Functions Menu
This menu contains the following editing functions:
Ö In the Key Commands dialog, you can set up key commands for the Insert options and
the Fill Loop command. How to set up and use key commands is described in the
Operation Manual.
Option Description
Shift Left Moves all steps of the current pattern on all lanes to the left.
Shift Right Moves all steps of the current pattern on all lanes to the right.
Reverse Reverses the pattern, so that it plays backwards.
Copy Pattern Copies the pattern to the clipboard. Copied patterns can be pasted into
another pattern subbank and even directly into the project.
Paste Pattern Allows you to paste a complete pattern, for example, into another
pattern subbank, even into another instance of the Beat Designer. This
is handy when you want to create variations based on existing patterns.
Clear Pattern Resets the current pattern.
