10.11.5 SWING
Adjust the swing setting of the pattern, to employ a propulsive, rhythmic groove. Press [TEMPO] to
access this menu.
Turn DATA ENTRY knob E to set the SWING ratio to 51-80%. The default setting is equal spacing, 50%.
10.11.6 COPY, PASTE AND CLEAR OPERATIONS
Patterns, tracks, track pages, and trigs can be copied, pasted and cleared.
The active pattern can be copied to another location in the same bank or in another bank. To perform
a pattern copy operation, GRID RECORDING mode must be deactivated. Copy the pattern by pressing
[FUNC] + [RECORD]. Select another pattern, and then press [FUNC] + [STOP] to paste the copied pat-
tern to this location. Please note that you can only paste to the currently active pattern. Clear a pattern
by pressing [FUNC] + [PLAY].
Individual sequencer tracks can be copied, pasted and cleared in the same way as patterns. To do so,
GRID RECORDING mode must be active.
A single track page may also be copied, pasted and cleared. It is similar to copying/pasting/clearing a
track, but will only aect the active track page. Select the track page of choice by pressing the [PAGE]
key. Copy by pressing [PAGE] + [RECORD]. Select a new track page and press [PAGE] + [STOP] to
paste. Press [PAGE] + [PLAY] to clear the active track page.
Trigs, complete with all parameter lock settings, can be copied, pasted and cleared as well. GRID RE-
CORDING mode needs to be active to access this functionality. Press and hold a trig and press [RE-
CORD] to perform the copy operation. Paste by holding another [TRIG] key and pressing [STOP]. It is
also possible to copy more than one trig. Hold several trigs and press [RECORD]. The trig first pressed
will act as the starting point. When pasting, the other copied trigs will be placed in relation to this trig.
Paste the copied sequence of trigs by holding another [TRIG] key and pressing [STOP]. Clear trig locks
by holding one or more trigs and press [PLAY].
You can undo any copy, paste, and clear operation by repeating the key presses.
• It is possible to copy, clear and paste one or several patterns without leaving the active
pattern. To copy, press and hold [PTN] + [TRIG] key to select the pattern you wish to
copy. Then press [RECORD]. Let go of the [TRIG] key and then press and hold the
[TRIG] key(s) to where you want to paste the pattern. Finally, press and hold [STOP] to
paste the pattern(s). To clear, press and hold [PTN] + [TRIG] key(s) to select the pat-
tern(s) you wish to clear. Then press and hold [PLAY] to clear the pattern(s).
10.11.7 TEMPORARY SAVE AND RELOAD PATTERN COMMANDS
Patterns can instantly be saved to a temporary memory space and then reloaded again from this space.
• To perform a temporary save of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [YES]. This is useful in order to
create a restore point when you are live tweaking, but without permanently save your changes.
• To perform a temporary reload of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [NO]. It will the reload the pat-
tern from when you last used the temporary save command. If you have not done any temporary save,
then the pattern will reload from the permanently saved state.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN and TEMPORARY RELOAD PATTERN commands are
great when improvising live. Any changes made to the active pattern, like adding bass line
notes or using CONTROL ALL , can immediately be undone. And at the same time, the
saves and reloads will not aect the pattern in a permanent way.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN command will not save the pattern permanently and
any changes will be lost if you load another project. If you wish to save your changes per-
manently, you should use SAVE TO PROJ in the PATTERN MENU. For more information,
please see “10.5 PATTERN MENU” on page 31.
