Length, Scale/Beat Settings; Setting The Length; Setting The Scale/Beat - Korg Electribe EM-1 Owner's Manual

Length, Scale/Beat settings

You can set the length (the length of the entire pattern) and
the basic beat (time signature).
The Length and Scale/Beat you specify here will affect the cor-
respondence between step keys and note values, and the maxi-
mum number of steps as shown in the following diagram.
If Scale/Beat is set to "tri" ( 3 x 12) or "tr2" ( 3 x 12), step keys
13—16 will have no effect.
While the Shift key is held down, the upper line of select LEDs
(green) will indicate the length of the current pattern, and the
lower line of select LEDs (red) will indicate the beat.
