Pattern Write
The memory of a new bassline is empty, and new patterns must be
programmed:
There are two Pattern Write modes: Pattern Write Step and Pattern Write Tap
Switching from the Pattern Play mode in the Pattern Write Tap or Pattern Write Step
mode, is possible during operation. Selected chains from the pattern Play mode, are
transferred in the Pattern Write Tap mode, and are played repetitive. The whole
pattern chain can be edited in the Pattern Write Tap mode. With a change in the
Pattern Write Step mode, only the last active pattern repeats and can be edited.
E.g. if the chain 5-7 is just playing the pattern 6 in the Pattern Write Tap mode, and it
is switched into the Pattern Write Step mode, then the Pattern 6 is selected for the
Pattern Write Steps mode, and can be edited.
The selection of the pattern, that should be changed, always takes place in the
Pattern Play mode! In the Pattern Write mode, the pattern can be edited.
Pattern Write Tap mode can edit singel pattern and a chain of pattern! Pattern
Write Step mode can only edit singel pattern!
Pattern Write Tap
In the Pattern Write Tap mode, it is possible it to change the programming of pitch,
note, Slide and Accent "live". The selection of the pattern or the pattern chain that
should be edited, takes place in the Pattern Play mode. The upper LED row indicates
the active step, as in the Pattern Play mode. The lower 8 buttons of the keyboard
indicates the active pattern with a flashing LED, as in the Pattern Play mode. The
LEDs of the keyboard indicate the pitch of the playing notes:
With the pressing of a button of the keyboard, you set a note with the corresponding
pitch on the step. By continuous pressing of a button, this corresponding note is
programmed on several steps. You can add Accent, Slide and Octave Up/Down with
the corresponding buttons to the programmed notes.
