Pattern
This mode randomly generates a 16-step sequence to modulate the
tremolo or autopan and repeats it over and over. Pattern mode
sometimes makes the level jump quickly from step to step, while
other levels "glide" from step to step. It sounds somewhat like
using "sample and hold" to modulate a VCA on a synthesizer,
except that the pattern repeats regularly until you change the
pattern.
Press the [RESET MOD] button to generate a new 16-step
pattern.
Try using the [RATE] knob, or the TEMPO SYNC/TAP
TEMPO features, to make the steps of the pattern play in
sync with your music. Keep in mind that the pattern has 16
steps per 4 beats, so adjust the RATE knob accordingly.
