∞ Pattern Play Mode

In Pattern Play mode you can select which pattern is currently playing, or create a chain of patterns. A

chain is a sequence of patterns. Chains can be as complex as you want, and up to 100 patterns long. For

example, if the chain consisted of patterns 1 and 2, then those two patterns would play, one after

another repeatedly. Patterns can also appear more than once or be repeated in the chain. For example a

chain consisting of three different patterns could be 1, 1, 2, 2, 3. In that example, after pattern 3

finishes, the chain will restart and repeat.

The Step LEDs show which pattern(s) are playing. It also shows a blinking cursor. The Output LEDs are

not used in this mode, except that they (optionally) blink to indicate a trigger occurring on an output.

Turn Knob 1 to move the blinking cursor to the left or right.

Turn Knob 2 to shift the pattern or chain to the right or left. For example, a chain consisting of pattern 1

and pattern 2 is playing, and Knob 2 is turned one click to the right, then the chain will now consist of

pattern 2 and pattern 3.

Press Knob 1 to add a pattern to the chain. For example, if only pattern 1 is playing, and the cursor is on

pattern 2, then pressing Knob 1 will add pattern 2 to the chain. Pressing Knob 1 again will add a second

instance of pattern 2 to the chain, which will now play pattern 1 once, and pattern 2 twice before

repeating.

Press Knob 2 to select a single pattern to play. If a chain of patterns was previously programmed, then

the chain is erased and only the newly selected pattern will play repeatedly.

The Chain Keeps Playing

When a chain of patterns is selected, the chain keeps playing when the module is switched to

Algorithmic or Step Edit mode. You can even be editing the sequence for a pattern that is not part of the

chain. It is important to keep that in mind because, in that situation, changes to the current output will

not be immediately audible.

A chain that is one pattern long is not considered a chain at all. In that case, when the module is in

Algorithmic or Step Edit mode, and you switch to a different pattern, that new pattern will play. In other

words, with no chain, what you edit is what you hear. This fact makes it easy to ignore the whole chain

concept until you are ready to dive into it.
