Shuffle
The Shuffle control adds a swing value to the pattern's notes so that within
a given clock interval the odd step numbers (notes) are lengthened and the
even ones are shortened (or vice versa). It is much easier to hear this effect
than to explain it. To hear the effect, create a pattern of 4 steps and then
vary the Shuffle parameter. The change in the rhythm of the pattern should
be clearly audible.
Transpose
The Transpose control enables the pitch of the entire pattern to be
transposed over a range of +- 24 semitones.
Random
The Random control is a playback parameter that determines the order and
timing in which pattern notes are played back. Note that the effect of the
Random control is not shown on the Pattern Display. When the control is
ON it sets pattern playback so that it randomly plays back notes that are
part of the current pattern. Note that the timing of the notes also is
randomised.
Ping-Pong
The Ping-Pong control is a playback parameter that determines the order in
which notes are played back. Note that the effect of the control is not shown
on the Pattern Display. When the control is ON it sets the pattern playback
so that it first plays the pattern in the forwards direction, and then plays the
pattern in reverse order. Note that the steps at the end of the pattern are
not repeated. For example, the pattern 1_2_3_4 would play back as
1_2_3_4_3_2_1_2_3...
