Click the

menu and select the desired Input Quantization mode from the three

modes available (see their description above).

11.4.9 Doubling a Pattern

Your controller provides a useful shortcut to double the length and content of the current Pat-
tern. In the software, you can do this for example by copying all events, putting the Playhead

indicator at the end of the Pattern, and pasting the events (the Pattern Length is automatically

doubled).
To double the length and content of a Pattern:
1.

Hold

PATTERN

to enter Pattern mode.

2.

Select the desired Pattern by pressing its pad.

3.

Press

SHIFT

+

DUPLICATE

(

Double

).

The Pattern is doubled.

Keep in mind that doubling a Pattern twice results in a Pattern that is four times as long.

11.4.10 Adding Variation to Patterns

Variation provides an abundance of inspiration and even “happy accidents” when applied to

your workflow. The variation engine contains two modes:

Humanize: This mode adds natural rhythmic fluctuations to programmed sequences.

Random: This mode provides randomly generated patterns or variations of your beats and
melodies based on customizable values.

Variation is available in both Pad mode and Keyboard mode and can be applied to a Sound. In
Keyboard mode the Variation Random mode contains extra parameters that allow you to add
variety to melodic content.
