Arturia BeatStep Pro MIDI/Analog Controller and Sequencer Kit with CV/Gate Cables (Black) - Manual (Page 72)

6.1.3.2. Example 2: SEQ1 and SEQ2
Let's say you would like SEQ1 to play patterns 1, 2, and 3 while SEQ2 plays patterns 3, 2, and
1.
1. Follow steps 1-4 in Example 1 above.
2. Hold SHIFT + SEQUENCER 2 to activate pattern chain mode for SEQ2.
3. SHIFT can be released but the SEQUENCER 2 button must remain pressed.
4. Press the Step buttons in the order you want the patterns to play: Step button 3,
then 2, then 1.
5. Release the SEQUENCER 2 button.
6. Press the Play button. SEQ2 will play patterns 3, 2, and 1 in that order while SEQ1
plays patterns 1, 2, and 3 and the Drum sequencer plays the drum pattern that
had already been selected.
7. A faster way to confirm the contents of the pattern chains is to hold down one
of the SEQUENCER buttons. The Step buttons will flash one after the other in the
order you entered them into the chain.

!: If you change SEQ1 or SEQ2 to a new pattern manually the current chain will be lost for that
sequencer. If you would like to save the pattern chains you have made, they must be saved as part of
a
Scene [p.82] .
6.1.3.3. Example 3: SEQ1, SEQ2, and DRUM
Let's say you would like DRUM to play pattern 4 twice and then play pattern 5, while SEQ1
and SEQ2 play the pattern chains constructed in Examples 1 and 2.
1. Follow steps 1-4 in Examples 1 and 2 above.
2. Hold SHIFT + DRUM to activate pattern chain mode for the Drum sequencer.
3. SHIFT can be released but the DRUM button must remain pressed.
4. Press the Step buttons in the order you want the patterns to play, only this time
press Step button 4 twice and then press Step button 5.
5. Release the DRUM button.
6. Press the Play button. The Drum sequencer will play pattern 4, repeat pattern
4, and then play pattern 5. SEQ1 and SEQ2 will play the pattern chains from
Examples 1 and 2.
7. A faster way to confirm the contents of the pattern chains is to hold down one
of the SEQUENCER buttons. The Step buttons will flash one after the other in the
order you entered them into the chain.

!: If you change any of the sequencers to a new pattern manually, the current chain for that
sequencer will be lost. If you would like to save the pattern chains you have made, they must be saved
as part of a
Scene [p.82] . ♪ : You can press any combination of the SEQUENCER , SEQUENCER 2 and
DRUM buttons while holding SHIFT to create identical chains on the selected sequencers. ♪ : The Preset
Link [p.56] function has no effect on pattern chains.
