Once a Scene Has Been Selected…
Once you have selected a Scene, the following happens:
▪ The selected Patterns slots for the focused Scene are highlighted. The Pattern slot with a
white frame is displayed in the Pattern Editor. Unselected Pattern slots are dimmed. If
there are no Patterns slots select for the Scene in focus, or if there are no Patterns at all,
the Pattern Editor is empty.
▪ If playback is off the playhead immediately jumps to the beginning of the selected Scene.
If playback is on the playhead jumps according to the Perform Grid settings.

Pattern for the focused Group in the Scene you have just selected, the Pattern Editor is
empty.
