5.2.3.4 SHUFFLE

Shuffle is available for all duple meters. The amount of available
shuffle depends on the selected scale as shown below. The shuffle
setting is saved with each pattern.

1/2x - 4 levels of shuffle

1x - 6 levels of shuffle

2x - 8 levels of shuffle

4x - 8 levels of shuffle
The shuffle amount is set and displayed using the PATTERN
BUTTONS and corresponding indicators. To view the current shuffle
setting press & hold [TIME] . While the button is held the shuffle
amount is indicated on the pattern button indicators. The higher the
number the greater the shuffle amount. To set the amount of shuffle
press [TIME] + PATTERN BUTTON
A setting of "1" indicates no shuffle.
Changes in shuffle amount do not take effect until the pattern loops.

5.2.3.5 PATTERN DIRECTION

There are (4) options for pattern direction.
The direction is set and displayed using the
[UP]/[DOWN] buttons.

RANDOM. When the [UP] & [DOWN] indicators are both
unlit the pattern steps are played in a random repeating
pattern.

FORWARD. When the [UP] indictor is lit the pattern is
played forwards.

REVERSE. When the [DOWN] indictor is lit the pattern is
played in reverse.

PENDULUM. When both the [UP] & [DOWN] indicators are
lit the pattern is played forwards & then backwards.
The graphic above the buttons shows the indicator combination for
each option so it doesn't have to be memorized.
To change the pattern direction press
and select the desired option.
Pendulum modes repeats the last step so that the pattern remains at
the same time division.

5.2.3.6 PATTERN ROTATE

Pattern steps can be rotated forwards and backwards using the
[FUNCTION] & [ROTATE] buttons. For example, to rotate the pattern
data forwards one step press [FUNCTION]

5.2.3.7 PATTERN RANDOMIZE

Randomizing a pattern overwrites all pitch & time parameters with
random data. Once a pattern is randomized the original data is lost.
To randomize a pattern press [FUNCTION]
PATTERN RANDOMIZE is different than pattern random direction as
described in section 5.2.3.5. 'Randomize' randomizes all pattern data.
The 'Random' pattern direction simply plays the pattern steps in random
order.

5.2.3.8 PATTERN TRANSPOSE

Patterns can be globally transposed in semitones and octaves. To
transpose a pattern press the [PITCH] and the octave [UP]/[DOWN]
buttons and/or [BUTTON KEYS] to enter the transpose amount. The
transpose amount is relative to [BUTTON KEY C], where C
corresponds to the root pattern (no transpose). For example, to
transpose a pattern by a 5th (seven semitones) press [PITCH] +
[BUTTON KEY G].

5.2.3.9 FILTER B MODE

The
[FILT MODE] button is for selecting between filter modes for an
external filter cartridge. Filter cartridges are referred to as FILTER B as
they are a secondary plugin filter option. All filter carts support two
filter modes, and the mode is saved with each pattern. Mode "1" is
selected when the [FILT MODE
when the [FILT MODE LED] is lit. Details on FILT B MODES are specific
to each filter cartridge.
