Adjusting the Pattern Length

You have already learned how to change the Pattern Length by doubling the Pattern: the Pat-
tern's length was doubled and its content reproduced in the second half (see
the Pattern). Here we will show you how to adjust the Pattern Length without affecting its
events, if any.
You can adjust the Pattern Length at any time, even if you already put events in the Pat-
tern. If you reduce the Pattern Length so that some events are not included in the Pat-
tern anymore, these events have not been deleted: They stay at their location — if you
extend your Pattern again, you can include them again.
4.2.2.1 Adjusting Pattern Length in the MASCHINE Software
In the software, you can change the Pattern Length in two ways:
In the timeline of the Pattern Editor, click the right limit of the Pattern (indicated by a
►
little triangle pointing to the left) and drag your mouse horizontally in the timeline to
change the Pattern Length.
At the top right of the Pattern Editor, click the value and drag your mouse vertically to
►
change the Pattern Length.
