Pattern editor buttons
Pattern
: Use the <> buttons to switch through the different
patterns. The arrow to the right opens a list of all
available patterns, and the save button stores the
current pattern.
Clear track/all: All events for the selected
instrument (track) or all events for the pattern (all
) are removed by clicking this button.
Bar selection: The bar you wish to edit can be
selected via the corresponding number button. Use
the "Follow" button to select follow mode, i.e. the
step display follows the steps of the currently
played beat. All
shows all bars of the pattern.
"1>2-4" Auto copy
: If more than one bar is set as the pattern length,
"Auto copy" mode makes sure that the drum notes
set in the first bar are automatically placed into the
next bars. This also makes it easy to create a
continuous beat, even with a loop length of four
bars. Notes set in the bars further back are not
affected by the "Auto draw" function, which, for
example, makes faint variations detectable only in
the fourth bar.
Bars
: The maximum length of a drum pattern is four
beats. The length can be selected via the small
scroll bar.
Shuffle
: This controller changes BeatBox 2's timing. If the
fader is turned to the right, the eighth of a rhythm is
played more and more like a triplet. If that sounds
a bit too abstract – simply try it out, ideally with a
pure 1/16 hi hat figure; you'll soon see what the
shuffle fader is capable of.
