Uncertainty
This mode generates a continually varying waveform for the
oscillator's modulation; it's similar to Sample and Hold but the
pitch will glide from note to note, instead of jump.
Pattern
This mode randomly generates a 16-step pattern for the
oscillator's modulation and repeats it over and over. In some
ways, it sounds like a mix of SAMPLE AND HOLD and
UNCERTAINTY, since Pattern mode sometimes makes the level
jump quickly from step to step, while other levels "glide" from
step to step. Another important difference is that the pattern will
repeat 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.
