7.7.2.2 Selecting a Pattern on Your Controller
►
To select a Pattern in the current Pattern bank, press PATTERN + the dim lit pad corre-
sponding to the cell of the desired Pattern on the right display.
→
Selecting a Pattern will:
▪ Display this Pattern in the software’s Pattern Editor. You can then modify it using your
controller or the software.
▪ Create a Clip referencing this Pattern for the selected Group in the current Scene. This
Clip replaces any previous Clip for the Group in that Scene (see chapter ↑12.6.3, Satura-
tor for more on this).
If you only want to quickly select another Pattern without using any of the editing com-
mands available, we recommend you to unpin the Pattern mode so you can quickly use the
shortcut PATTERN + pad to select the desired Pattern.
7.7.3 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 ↑7.4.2, 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
Pattern for the corresponding Group at that location in your arrangement (see section
↑13.1.5, Creating and Removing Clips).
You can still manually create a new empty Pattern in the software:
1. Open the Pattern Manager (see ↑7.7.1, The Pattern Manager and Pattern Mode).
