Pattern Parameters

Pattern Items
Sets the number of steps in the Phase Pattern.
Pattern Step1...16
0: Phase1 1: Phase2
Sets which phase (Phase 1 or Phase 2) will be used for
generating data when a specific step of the Phase Pattern is
entered during playback. For each step that is enabled, the
step may be set to either Phase 1 or Phase 2.
Note: If the number of steps in the Phase Pattern (Pattern
Items) is less than the step being edited, this will produce no
audible results.
Template Parameters
Selects one of 16 templates (each having 4 steps) that can be
applied to all or parts of the Phase Pattern. They specify 16
different combinations of Phase 1 and Phase 2 within a 4
step section:
0: 1-1-1-1
1: 2-2-2-2
2: 1-2-1-2
3: 2-1-2-1
4: 1-1-1-2
5: 1-1-2-1
Template (All Steps)
The chosen template is applied to all steps of the Phase
Pattern, regardless of how many there are. For example, if
you selected 6: 1-2-1-1 (Template 6), then the following
would happen to the Phase Pattern:
If the Phase Pattern had 1 steps:
If the Phase Pattern had 2 steps:
If the Phase Pattern had 4 steps:
If the Phase Pattern had 7 steps:
If the Phase Pattern had 16 steps:
Template Steps 1...4
Applies the selected template only to the first 4 steps of the
Phase Pattern.
If there are more steps, they will remain unchanged.
Template Steps 5...8
Applies the selected template only to steps 5–8 of the Phase
Pattern. If there are more steps, they will remain unchanged.
Steps 1–4 will remain unchanged.
Template Steps 9...12
Same as above, except for steps 9–12.
Template Steps 13...16
Same as above, except for steps 13–16.
Note that if the number of steps in the Phase Pattern
(Pattern Items) is less than the steps for which Templates are
being changed, these will produce no audible results.
