••• Step Edit Mode
Step Edit Mode offers a more traditional editing method in which each step is turned on or off
individually. The controls in Step Edit Mode are nearly identical to Algorithmic mode. All of the controls
work exactly the same, with the exception of Knob 1.
Turn Knob 1 to move the blinking cursor to the left or right.
Press Knob 1 to toggle the step indicated by the cursor. That is, if the step was on, pressing the knob
turns the step off, and if it was off, pressing the knob turns it on.

Pattern Play Mode
In the Algorithmic and Step Edit modes, only the current pattern can be played.
In Pattern Play mode you can select which pattern is currently playing, or create a chain of patterns. A
chain is a sequence of patterns. Chains can be as complex as you want up to 100 patterns long. For
example, if the chain consisted of patterns 1 and 2, then those two patterns would play, one after
another repeatedly. Patterns can also appear more than once or be repeated in the chain. For example
a chain consisting of three different patterns could be 1, 1, 2, 2, 3. In that example, after pattern 3
finishes, the chain will restart and play pattern 1 twice, and so on.
The Step LEDs show which pattern(s) are playing. It also shows a blinking cursor. The Output LEDs are
not used in this mode.
Turn Knob 1 to move the blinking cursor to the left or right.
Turn Knob 2 to shift the pattern or chain to the right or left. For example, if pattern 1 is playing, and
Knob 2 is turned one click to the right, then pattern two will play. Or, if a chain consisting of pattern 1
and pattern 2 is playing, and Knob 2 is turned one click to the right, then the chain will now consist of
pattern 2 and pattern 3.
Press Knob 1 to add a pattern to the chain. For example, if only pattern 1 is playing, and the cursor is on
pattern 2, then pressing Knob 1 will add pattern 2 to the chain. Pressing Knob 1 again will add a second
instance of pattern 2 to the chain, which will now play pattern 1 once, and pattern 2 twice before re-
peating.
Press Knob 2 to select a single pattern to play. If a chain of patterns was previously programmed, then
the chain is gone and only the newly selected pattern will play repeatedly.
