About Patterns
Rhythm Wolf can store up to 16 patterns. Each pattern consists of four sequences: Sequence
A, Sequence B, Fill A, and Fill B.
To select a pattern, press Pattern Select and then press one of the 16 Step Switches to
select the pattern of the same number. Press Pattern Select again to return to normal
operation.
To select which sequence you are playing/editing during playback , press Seq Variation to
switch between Sequence A or Sequence B . The LED for the currently playing sequence will
be lit solid. If the other sequence will play next, its LED will flash.
To automatically switch between playing Sequence A and then Sequence B (or vice versa),
press and hold Shift and then press Seq Variation .
To return to playing only Sequence A or Sequence B , either press Seq Variation while the
desired sequence is playing, or press and hold Shift and then press Seq Variation .
To select which sequence(s) you are playing/editing while stopped , press Seq Variation
to switch between: Sequence A only ( A will be lit) and Sequence B only ( B will be lit).
Note: To select a fill to loop and/or edit, see below.
To play a fill, press the Fill button during playback. The fill that plays will be determined by (1)
the state of the Seq Variation button and (2) which sequence is currently playing.
When Seq Variation is set to Sequence A only or Sequence B only:
•
Press Fill to play the corresponding fill. When the fill is finished, the other
sequence will start playing.
•
Press and hold Fill to play the corresponding fill. When the fill is finished, the
original sequence will continue playing.
When Seq Variation is set to both Sequences A and B:
•
Press Fill during Sequence A to play Fill A and Fill B. When Fill B is finished,
Sequence A will start playing again.
•
Press Fill during Sequence B to play Fill B. When Fill B is finished, Sequence A
will start playing again.
To select a fill to loop and/or edit during playback , press and hold the Fill button, press the
Seq Variation button to select either A or B, and then release both buttons. The fill you
selected will now loop. This also lets you edit the fill (as you would edit Sequence A or
Sequence B). To return to normal operation, press the
Seq Variation button.
To select a fill to edit while stopped , press the Fill button, and then press the Seq Variation
button to select either A or B buttons. This lets you edit the fill (as you would edit Sequence A
or Sequence B). To return to normal operation, press the Fill button.
