Making a Section Unique
If a Scene is referencing the same Patterns you can make a separate (unique) copy of the Scene
and its Patterns by selecting Unique. This allows you to work on a new separate copy of the Scene
and its Pattern in isolation. Use Unique in combination with the Duplicate option.
To make a Section unique:
1. Press and hold SCENE ( Section ) to enter Scene mode.
2. Press the pad corresponding to the Section you want to make unique.
3. Press Button 2 ( UNIQUE ).
→ The Section will become independent of any Sections it was linked to and the Patterns can be
edited without affecting any of the original Sections.
17.3.9. Removing a Section
Sections can be removed from the arrangement.
To remove a Section:
1. Press IDEAS ( Song ).
2. Press SHIFT + Button 2 to enter Song view.
3. Press and hold SCENE ( Section ) to enter Section mode.
4. Press the pad corresponding to the Section you want to remove.
5. Press Button 6 ( REMOVE ).
→ The Section is removed from the arrangement. The next Sections shift ahead to fill the gap.
17.3.10. Enabling Auto Length
By default, a Section is set to Auto Length allowing it to resize automatically to the content within
the Section. If the length of a Section is manually adjusted by truncating or lengthening the
Section end marker, Auto Length is discarded and the Section automatically set to Manual Length.
It is possible to quickly reset a Section to back to Auto Length in order to return to the Section to
its default state and reveal any truncated (hidden) content. When Auto Length is enabled, the
Manual Length settings are discarded and the Section is resized according to the Patterns in the
assigned Scene, and will continue to resize with the content unless the length is again manually
adjusted.
To enable Auto Length for a Section:
1. Press IDEAS ( Song )
2. Press SHIFT + Button 2.
3. Press SHIFT + SCENE ( Section ) to enter Section view.
4. Press the corresponding pad to select a Section.
