Pattern Direction - Social Entropy Engine User Manual

PATTERNS

PATTERN DIRECTION

Patterns can be set to play in various directions, which is useful for creating interesting
sequence variations.
The current available directions are:
• forward (FOR)
• backward (BAC)
• pendulum (PEND)
• random (RAND)
To view the current pattern direction, while in FUNCTION MODE, press the DIRECTION
(time) button. The direction will be displayed on the LED display.
To change the direction, while in FUNCTION mode, press the DIRECTION (time) button
and then rotate control knob 1. The LED display will change to show the selected pattern
direction.
When the sequencer is playing, changes to pattern direction will not take effect until the
pattern loops. This keeps the pattern in sync with other playing patterns.
The reverse pattern direction will always play the first step of the pattern first and then
play backwards. This keeps the downbeat of a programmed pattern in the correct
location in relation to other playing patterns, for more musical results.
