Pattern Write Step
With the mode rotary switch you switch into the Pattern Write Step mode, without
stopping the equipment. In contrast to the Pattern Write Tap mode, only a single
pattern can be played and edited. The pattern is taken with the time of switching. As
in the Pattern Play mode, a flashing LED of the lower 8 buttons of the keyboard
indicates the active pattern. As in the Pattern Write Tap mode, pitch, Octave
Up/Down, Accent and Slide, can be edited, but only for a selected step individually.
In addition there is the possibility of the function Roll in the Pattern Write Step mode.
With Roll, you can shift the starting point of the pattern (also with shortened pattern).
The pattern length that is programmed, and changes of the function Roll are taken in
the Pattern Play mode and in the Pattern Write Tap mode.
Step Selection
When you switch in the Pattern Write Step mode, step 1 is selected. The Pattern
keeps running.
Forward:
Press the buttom Write/Next, and the second LED of the LED row flashes. The
programming of step 2 is shown on the keyboard.
Press the buttom Write/Next again, and the step 3 is shown, etc.. After the last step
of the patterns (dependent on the pattern length programming) the cursor jumps back
on step 1.
Backward:
Keep the Select buttom held. Now press the Write/Next buttom, and the step
selection jumps back to the previous step.
