TIPS AND TRICKS

CREATING YOUR OWN RHYTHM PATTERNS – The following procedure
details how to create your own Rhythm patterns. The Rhythm patterns you make
will overwrite the patterns that were loaded at the factory. Whatever Rhythm
patterns are in memory at the time of saving a preset will be saved into that
preset.

ENTERING RHYTHM PATTERN CREATE MODE:

1. Ensure the WAVE knob is pointing somewhere in the RHYTHM area of
the knob's rotation, that is the WAVE knob's clockwise half of rotation.
You cannot enter Rhythm Pattern Create mode if Sine, Triangle or Pulse
waveforms are selected on the WAVE knob.
2. Press and hold the EXP MODE and TAP DIVIDE buttons simultaneously.
After about 2 seconds of holding both buttons you will see all LEDs for
both TAP DIVIDE and EXP MODE light up, the Waveform Display shows
the lower 8 beats of the currently selected Rhythm.
3. You can now release the EXP MODE and TAP DIVIDE buttons. Beat 1 of
the Rhythm pattern will begin blinking indicating it is the active beat.
4. SELECTING A PATTERN & NAVIGATING THE PATTERN: Turn the
SHAPE knob to change the rhythm pattern selection. There are a total
of 9 patterns available on the SHAPE knob.
5. The xRATE and WAVE INVERT buttons allow you to scroll through the
beats of the selected Rhythm Pattern. xRATE scrolls to the right and
WAVE INVERT scrolls to the left. Beat 1 is represented by the left most
LED and beat 8 is represented by the right most LED. When you scroll
past either beat 8 or beat 1, the waveform display will change over to
showing the upper 8 beats of the pattern.
6. As you scroll through the Waveform Display LEDs, the currently selected
beat blinks. If the beat is currently OFF, its LED pulses ON for a short
