Pattern Editor
In the Pattern editor, you can create and edit MIDI drum patterns.
● To open the Pattern editor, click the Pattern tab on the Edit page.
NOTE
The Pattern editor is only available for MIDI patterns, not for styles. You can convert styles to
MIDI patterns on the Agent page.
The editor is subdivided into several sections:
● The title bar showing the name of the current pattern at the top.
● The toolbar below the title bar.
● The drum sounds list on the left.
● The event display on the right. In the event display, the drum notes are shown.
● The controller lane at the bottom.

In the list on the left, the drum sounds are listed. What is shown in the list depends on the
Visibility setting on the Conguration pop-up menu.
The columns show the key, the pad name, the quantize setting, and the mute status of the pads.
NOTE
The column sorting is xed, you cannot change it.
Drum Sounds List Context Menu
