1.2.6. Step buttons
One main use for the sixteen Step buttons is to select patterns in Pattern mode. But they
serve many other purposes as well. For example, in Step mode they are used to enable/
disable events in a pattern.
In this manual you will learn how to use the Step buttons to select a song (see section [p.25]),
select a bank or pattern (see section [p.19]), to edit a pattern (see section [p.35]), to set the
pattern length (see section [p.41]), and much more.
1.2.7. Copy/Erase
These two buttons are used in every mode to copy or erase large amounts of pattern data at
the same time. For example, you can copy a pattern to a new location or erase it completely.
You can also copy sequence data from one instrument to another within the same pattern,
or erase all of the data for one instrument within a pattern.
The Copy/Erase functions are covered in greater detail in section [p.43].
1.2.8. Pattern length/Last step
DrumBrute patterns can be up to 64 steps long, consisting of up to four 16-step subdivisions
that play one after the other. Those are called the Step Groups.
The four LEDs above the double arrow buttons (<< >>) are used to indicate the pattern length
and which Step Group is currently playing.
The Last Step button is used with the Step buttons and the << >> buttons to change the length
of the current pattern.
For a complete description of these features, see section [p.41].
