Step Pattern Recording
The Pattern option lets you define a repeating rhythmic pattern of notes and
rests so that you can use step recording more efficiently. For example,
suppose your project is in 4/4 time, and one track has a pattern that is two
measures long: quarter notes in the first measure and on the first two beats
of the second measure, followed by a half-note rest on the last two beats.
This pattern has six quarter notes followed by two quarter-note rests.
When you use step recording with Auto Advance, you can play the six
quarter notes and SONAR will automatically advance to the next step.
However, to skip over the rests, you need to click the Advance button two
times.
