The +PATTERNS button allows you select whether a Group is loaded with or without a saved
Pattern. This button conveniently allows you to load new kits without a Pattern so you can try
them with your existing pattern, or load kits with Patterns you have previously created. When
the
+PATTERNS button is selected the Sounds and Patterns of the selected Group will be
loaded. When the +PATTERNS is deselected, only the Sounds of the selected Group will be
loaded.

11.4.3 Arranger
The Arranger is has two different views: Ideas view and Arranger view. Each view has a specific
purpose in the workflow of creating a song, but essentially they represent the same content.
The Ideas view allows you to experiment with your musical ideas without being tied to a time-
line or any kind of arrangement. Here you can create Patterns for each Group and combine
them into a Scene. The Arranger view allows you to structure your song by allowing you to as-
sign the Scenes you created in the Ideas view to Sections, and move them around to quickly
create a larger musical structure.

► Click the Arranger view button to switch between the Ideas view and the Arranger view.
