► To adjust the Pattern Length, click the Pattern Length: field and drag it up to make the
Pattern longer or drag it down to make it shorter. You can also double-click the displayed
value, enter a new value with your computer keyboard, and press [Enter] to confirm.
or
► To adjust the Pattern Length, drag the end marker of the Pattern (white arrow) in the
timeline:
With either method, the available lengths will depend on the current Pattern Grid resolution
(see above).
Reducing the length of a Pattern might exclude the last events from the Pattern. However
these events are not deleted: They simply appear darker in the Event area and will be included
back into the Pattern next time you extend it.
Events beyond the Pattern’s end can be edited in the software. However, you cannot edit them
from the controller. See section ↑11.4, Editing Events for more information on editing events.
Adjusting the Pattern Length and Arrange Grid on the Controller
On your controller, the length of the selected Pattern, along with the Arrange Grid resolution
used to modify this length, can both be adjusted using Pattern mode, and Grid mode.
Using the Pattern mode
In Pattern mode you can adjust the Pattern Length of the current Pattern:
1. Press PATTERN to enter Pattern mode.
2. Press the pad relevant to the Pattern you want to adjust.
