4.2.14.2. Step Button SHIFT Functions

When you hold 'Shift', the steps will dim. This allows you to see the effect of the Shift

functions when modifying a step’s position with Nudge, Invert or Randomise Order.

Clr Ptn (Clear Pattern)

For the currently active pattern, this function clears all steps, resets the sequence length

to the default 16 steps and restores all other default settings: 1/16th straight-note speed,

Forward seq mode, Poly mode, Chromatic scale. Clearing a Drum pattern clears all 24 drum

tracks simultaneously.

Clr Steps (Clear Steps)

For the currently active pattern, Clr Steps clears all steps but keeps everything else

unchanged. When applied to a Drum sequence, it will clear only the selected drum track.

‹Nudge

‹Nudge shifts the currently active pattern to the left. All steps on all pages of the Pattern will

shift to the left. It works both with sequencer patterns and drum patterns. In Drum mode, it

will only affect the currently selected drum track.

Nudge›

Nudge> shifts the currently active pattern to the right. All steps on all pages of the Pattern will

shift to the right. It works both with sequencer patterns and drum patterns. In Drum mode it

will only affect the currently selected drum track.

Invert

Invert inverts the order of the steps in the current pattern. The last steps in the pattern will

become the first and the first the last. Invert acts on the currently active step groups. If your

pattern is two pages long, the last steps on page two will become the first steps on page

one.

Semi Down

This function is for intelligent semitone (half step) downward transposition of the current

sequence. It's intelligent because the transpose function takes the current scale setting into

account.

Semi Up

This function is for intelligent semitone (half step) upward transposition of the current

sequence. Again, it's intelligent because the transpose function takes the current scale

setting into account.

Oct (Octave) Down

Transposes the current pattern one octave down.

Oct (Octave) Up

Transposes the current pattern one octave up.
