9.4. Working with Scenes

The MIDI Control Center has an option that affects what the Step buttons do in Control Mode.

There are two options:

1. The Step buttons will transmit MIDI data as specified in the

Controller Map [p.96]

,

or

2. The Step buttons allow you to save and recall one of 16

Scenes [p.82]

.

9.4.1. What is a Scene?

A Scene will remember the following information:

• Which pattern was active on each sequencer
• The pattern chains you have constructed for each sequencer

The BeatStep Pro can store 16 Scenes per Project.

9.4.2. How to make a Scene

1. Enable

Scene mode [p.82]

in the MIDI Control Center. It's in the

Global parameters

[p.114]

section.

2. Select the patterns you want each sequencer to load when the Scene is selected,

or

3. Construct the

pattern chains [p.66]

you want each sequencer to load when the

Scene is selected.

4. Enter Control Mode.
5. Hold the Save button.
6. Press one of the Step buttons. It will flash a few times to indicate that the Scene

has been stored.

: Scenes can be overwritten but they cannot be "cleared" or erased.

9.4.3. Recalling a Scene

Here's how to recall one of the Scenes you have stored:

1. If

Scene mode [p.82]

has not been enabled, you must do so using the

MIDI

Control Center [p.84]

.

2. Enter Control Mode.
3. Press the Step button that corresponds to the Scene you wish to recall.

If a Scene has never been stored to a particular Step button then a default pattern number

will be loaded when that Scene is recalled. In other words, if you recall Scene 10 and it is

"empty", all three sequencers will load pattern 10.

: The

Wait to Load Pattern [p.122]

setting also determines when the next Scene will load.
