6.1. SEQ1, SEQ2, and DRUM
6.1.1. Extend a sequence, pattern, or drum track
It’s possible to extend a sequence, pattern, or drum track using the SHIFT and >> buttons.
This process will copy up to 16 steps of note data and attach it to the end of the current
pattern.
The process will be slightly different depending on the selected Sequencer: SEQ1 and SEQ2
[p.59] are relatively simple to extend, but DRUM [p.61] is both more flexible and complex
when its Polyrhythm feature is On [p.62] . So we'll cover the different types of sequencers in
separate sections.

♪ : Whichever Sequencer mode you select, its patterns can be extended up to the maximum pattern
length of 64 steps.
6.1.1.1. Extending a sequencer pattern (SEQ1 and SEQ2)
• Start in SEQ1 or SEQ2 modes. Only the pattern in the selected mode will be
affected.
• Hold SHIFT and then press the >> button. This will copy the first 16 steps of the
pattern into the next Step Group, making the pattern 32 steps long.
Some rules to keep in mind:
• If the pattern has 16 or more steps, only the first 16 steps are copied and
appended to the end.
• If the pattern is shorter than 16 steps, then that number of steps is copied and
the sequence is doubled in length.
Here are some examples of this process in action:
Example 1
Original size Action New size Reason
16 steps SHIFT+>> 32 steps Steps 1-16 were copied / appended to step 17
SHIFT+>> 48 steps Steps 1-16 were copied / appended to step 33
Example 2
Original size Action New size Reason
32 steps SHIFT+>> 48 steps Steps 1-16 were copied / appended to step 33
