Pattern Sets: Assign and trigger patterns with step keys (up to 64) for instant recall
Work with Pattern Sets:
1. Press Pattern Ä select any pattern Ä press PLAY ➨ hold down Pattern Set key and press any step key to switch to a
new pattern -pre-assigned to that step key. When the current pattern finishes, the new pattern will begin to play. The
Pattern Set you are working with contains 16 patterns - assigned to the 16 step keys.
2. Hold down Shift and press Pattern Set (flashing). This holds the current pattern set, and lets you select patterns within
the pattern set group - simply by pressing the step keys – for one-touch recall of patterns!
3. Press the Pattern Set key again. This defeats the hold function Ä hold down Pattern Set and press one of the Select
keys. This takes you to another Pattern Set (of 16 patterns), and you can continue selecting patterns as above. The
selected group will be indicated by the red LED's in the Select section
➨ press STOP when finished.
