6.1.3. Pattern Chains

♪ : We recommend enabling Scene Mode [p.82] so you will be able to save the Pattern Chains you
create. This can only be done using the MIDI Control Center [p.84] .
It is possible to automate the selection of patterns in each sequencer by constructing a
pattern chain.

♪ : A pattern chain is limited to 16 patterns.
6.1.3.1. Example 1: SEQ1 only
For example, let's say you would like SEQ1 to play patterns 1, 2, and 3 without having to
select those patterns manually.
1. Hold SHIFT + SEQUENCER 1 to activate pattern chain mode for SEQ1.
2. SHIFT can be released but the SEQUENCER 1 button must remain pressed.
3. Press the Step buttons in the order you want the patterns to play: Step button 1,
then 2, then 3.
4. Release the SEQUENCER 1 button.
5. Press the Play button. SEQ1 will play patterns 1, 2, and 3 in that order while the
other sequencers play the patterns that were already selected for them.
6. A faster way to confirm the contents of a pattern chain is to hold down the
SEQUENCER 1 button. The Step buttons will flash one after the other in the order
you entered them into the chain.

!: If you change SEQ1 to a new pattern at this point its current chain will be lost. If you would like to
save the pattern chain you have made, it must be saved as part of a Scene [p.82] .
