Pattern Mode

Pattern Mode allows you to configure the length of patterns and link multiple patterns together for longer sequences.

  • Each track has 16 patterns

  • Each pattern has up to 16 steps

  • Patterns can be linked together to create sequences up to 256 steps (16 patterns x 16 steps)

It’s important to keep in mind the selected pattern as it is the one edited in Step mode and. The selected pattern doesn’t change when selecting another track. For example, if you enter steps in pattern 4 with the kick track selected and then switch to the bass track, you will now edit pattern 4 of the bass track.

The numbers of the selected pattern is shown at the top right of the screen: Current pattern and step onscreen{ width=”400” }

Entering Pattern Mode

  • Blinking Green LED: Currently playing pattern

Creating Long Patterns

To create patterns longer than 16 steps:

  1. Enter Pattern Mode

  2. Select the first pattern (e.g., Pattern 1)

  3. Set length to 16

  4. Enable Link to connect to Pattern 2

  5. Select Pattern 2

  6. Set its length

  7. Continue linking patterns as needed

Link all 16 patterns together for a maximum of 256 steps (16 x 16).

Example: 24-Step Pattern

  1. Pattern 1: Length 16, Link enabled

  2. Pattern 2: Length 8, Link disabled

This creates a 24-step sequence that plays Pattern 1 followed by Pattern 2.
