9.4 Song v Pattern Relationship
Patterns can be arranged into a song in the song mode utility. Patterns
selected in a song will also be available in the pattern mode and will appear
in song mode as muted / unmuted inline with the status in pattern mode.
Editing tracks in song mode will reflect in pattern mode. Tracks and patterns
can be copied and pasted within song mode which will also edit or copy /
paste the pattern.
Patterns are muted in pattern or master pages and are reflected in the song mode clip shade
as ar empty clips.Tracks edited in Song Mode will in turn edit and reflect in the actual pattern.
When pressing [Play] in Pattern mode, switching to Song Mode will only show the selected
pattern being played.

and as such also be reflected in the pattern view.

being played in the song structure.

9.5 Creating and Editing a Song
The pre-requisite to creating a song is to have a series of patterns
available, although technically blank patterns can also be added to a song
slot. Editing and creating a song is performed in 'Red' recording mode i.e.
when the [Rec] mode is selected as on. Otherwise the song mode page just
presents the playback of patterns and the song as options. Track muting is
not applied in Song Mode, but is set in the Pattern or Track Mixer Pages.
▌ CREATING A BASIC SONG FROM SCRATCH
1. Hold [Shift] + Press [1] or access the [Menu] to select song mode. The
step / pattern cursor will be displayed by a green bounding box. Also
only 1 st and 2 nd screen buttons to control play are available in 'green'
mode, i.e. [Rec] off.
2. Press [Rec] to toggle editing on, 'red' mode. The step / pattern cursor
will be displayed by a red bounding box. Also all of the screen button
options are shown as available in recording, 'red' mode - [Rec] on.
3. Navigate to the location desired:-
• The location selected is shown with the green or red bounding box
over the slot & pattern number.
• Press (Up) and (Down) or [+] / [-] to navigate slots.
• Press (Left) and (Right) to select tracks.
• Press [Shift] + [Insert] to jump to the top slot row.
4. To add a new song slot, Press [Add Slot], 4

5. When adding a new slot row, it will;

length and duration.
