Programming a Pattern
First, please select an empty pattern (please see page 10). Then let's go:
Select instrument and set steps:
• Hold Rec/ManTrg button + press Instrument button.
This enables Record Mode and selects the desired instrument/track.
The instrument/track LED lights up green.
• Press Step buttons to set steps. Their LEDs light up red. Hitting a selected step
again, disables the step. If you set a step corresponding with the instrument/track
button (green LED), the step lights up orange. So you can still identify the selected
instrument.
• To enable another instrument/track, please hold Rec/ManTrg again and press
another instrument button.

This feature is not available in Manual Mode. Here, all steps have identical
soundsettings, corresponding with the current knob settings. Individual ac-
cent levels and flams/rolls can be programmed. Please see below.
We'll describe now in detail, how to programm individual sound settings per step in Step-
or Jam Mode:
Step selection and step programming:
select
Shuffle-Intensity We are currently watching a track with several active steps (red LEDs), e.g.

BD 1 (green BD 1 LED).
• Hold Select + press step(s) (if not allready selected). The step LED(s) flash(es).
• Turn parameter knob(s) of the selected instrument (here BD1).
• Press Select to confirm parameter changes (step LED(s) light up continously

• To create different sound settings on other steps, simply repeat the procedure.
To save the settings permanently, save the edited pattern (please see page 23).
Copy steps
To keep things fast and easy, you may copy the settings of one step to other steps:
• Hold Select + press a step. The sound setting of this step is copied.
• Set more steps. The new steps will have the same sound settings.
Using the hidden sound parameter
The instruments BD 1, Toms/Congas as well as Cowbell offer one more sound parameter
that can only be accessed in Step/Jam-Record Mode.
Is Record mode enabled and one of the instruments BD 1, Toms/Congas or Cowbell is
selected, the Sound LED flashes. To change the parameter value:
• Press Sound (LED lights constantly).
Some step buttons will flash green. Every step visualises a parameter value.
• To select a value, press one of the flashing step buttons (colour changes to red).
• Press Sound to confirm value entry.
The Sound LED starts to flash again.
Programming additional Functions per Step
Use the following functions to enhence your pattern even more.
We are still working on a track, e.g. BD 1 (green BD 1 LED) with some setted steps (red
LEDs). The sequencer is still running.
