When working with patterns longer than 16 steps there is an important feature to know.
When the double arrow buttons (« ») are pressed at the same time, their LEDs will

When this mode is active during playback, the Step Group LEDs and the Step buttons
will show steps 1-16, then steps 17-32, then return to steps 1-16, and so on.

Pattern Follow mode is

Remember: the playback of the pattern itself is not affected when Pattern Follow mode is
enabled. This only affects what you are seeing, which can make it easier to edit
particular sections of the pattern.
5.2.9.2 Lengths > 16 steps
To make your pattern longer than 16 steps will involve the Last Step button, the « »
buttons, the Step Group LEDs, and the Step buttons.
