4.2.5. Step-editing a pattern
One major use for the Step buttons is to enable or disable each step in the pattern. When a
Step button is lit, a note will play at the Velocity you played on the pad and will keep playing
for as long as you want it to (Gate time). To silence that note event, simply press that Step
button. When its LED is dark, that event will not play the next time.
The Step buttons can also be used to change the velocity of an existing note while the
sequence is playing back. Here's how:
1.
Select a Drum track by pressing a pad
2.
Hold the Step button of an existing event and press the pad. The velocity value
will be remembered.
4.2.5.1. Viewing a different Step button group
A pattern can be longer than 16 steps (see the next section). When this is true you may
see the enabled Step buttons change as the sequence crosses over from steps 1-16 to steps
17-32, etc.
You can view a particular set of 16 steps by selecting that range of the pattern with one of
the « or » buttons, and then lock the view by pressing those buttons at the same time. You
can disable this feature the same way.
♪: A red LED above the « and » buttons indicates the current view range, while a white LED indicates
the Step group that contains the last step of the pattern. When the LED is pink, both things are true: you
are viewing the Step group that contains the last step of the pattern.
