10.7.3 Creating Patterns
First of all, you don’t need to explicitly create a new empty Pattern before filling it with events:
▪ If no Pattern is selected, as soon as you create an event (in the empty Event area of the
software or by recording pads on your controller) a new Pattern will be created for it! See
section ↑10.4.2, Creating Events/Notes for more information on creating events.
▪ If you double-click in a cell of the Arranger, a Clip is created referencing a new empty Pat-
tern for the corresponding Group at that location in your arrangement (see section ↑15.2.3,
Assigning and Removing Patterns).
You can still manually create a new empty Pattern in the software:
1. Open the Pattern Manager (see ↑10.7.1, The Pattern Manager and Pattern Mode).
2. If it is not already selected, click the desired pad grid on the right to select the Pattern
bank where you want to create a Pattern.
The selected Pattern bank is surrounded by a white border, and the left part of the Pat-
tern Manager displays the Pattern slots in that bank.
3. Click any empty Pattern slot in the list on the left or click any dark cell in the selected
pad grid on the right to create a new empty Pattern there.
