Quickstart Tutorial 4: Looping Presets and Groups for More Complex Patterns
“Yes,” you are saying, “groups and presets are interesting and all, but our patterns are still only 8
steps in length. How can I make patterns that are 16, 32, 64, or even 256 steps in length?”
Enter looping.
Looping as a function in the CR allows you to loop through a set of selected presets or groups. You
can also think of looping as combining (or really concatenating) a set of presents or groups, but that
would make the concept less fl exible than it is truly is.
Let’s create an example... Let’s choose Group 1, Preset 1 in Vertical View and enter in our standard
house/technopattern. Switch to 8x8 view to program the pattern:
In Group 1, Preset 2, let’s add a little variation to the HiHat and BD. Enter this pattern:
