4.3. Saving a Drum pattern

It’s important to know that if you switch to another pattern, you will lose any edits you

have made to the first pattern unless you save it first. You will know that a pattern has been

modified if a dot is visible next to the pattern number in the display.

You can save individual patterns from within DRUM mode without having to save the whole

Project. Here’s how:

• Start in DRUM mode.
• Hold the SAVE button. The Step button corresponding to the number of the current

pattern will light up with the DRUM mode color (purple). If you have saved other

patterns their corresponding Step buttons will light up in white to show you that

they are not empty.

• Select the Step button that corresponds to the location where you want your new

pattern to be saved.

• Release the buttons. Your pattern has been saved to the location you selected.

4.4. Copying a Drum pattern

You can also copy a pattern from one location within the Drum sequencer to another, even

if no edits have been made. To do this, simply follow the steps described above in

Saving a

Drum pattern [p.48]

and select a new location number instead of the original number.

4.5. Clearing a Drum pattern

The process of

clearing a pattern [p.20]
