The events will be pasted according to the same rules as to when using the keyboard
shortcuts in the software (see above). If no event is selected, all displayed events will be
affected: in Keyboard view these are all events of the focused Sound; in Group view these are
all events of all Sounds within the Group. You can also copy events from one Pattern to
another: to do this, copy the selected events, select the Pattern you want to copy them to, and
then paste them.
12.1.11. Adding Variation to Patterns
Variation provides an abundance of inspiration and even “happy accidents” when applied to your
workflow. The variation engine contains two modes:
•
Humanize
: This mode adds natural rhythmic fluctuations to programmed sequences.
•
Random
: This mode provides randomly generated patterns or variations of your beats and
melodies based on customizable values.
Variation is available in both Pad mode and Keyboard mode and can be applied to a Sound. In
Keyboard mode, the Random mode contains extra parameters that allow you to add variety to
melodic content.
When adding Variation to your Patterns, be aware that Random mode conforms to the
selected Scale.
To access Variation mode:
1.

A

) containing the Sound to which you want to apply the variation.
