4. Pattern mode
Editing sounds
For each drum part, you can select a drum sound wave, or sample. For each synth part, you can select a synth oscillator model.
You can then edit the sound of each part using the oscillator, level, and pan knobs, and the effect and amp EG keys.
Sounds can be edited even while the pattern is playing. You can also use an external MIDI device to control the values of each knob (☞p.79 “ MIDI mode”). If you want to keep the sound that you modified, save it in the current pattern by pressing the WRITE/RENAME key (☞p.64 “Saving a pattern”).
The available knobs will differ depending on the part. If you find it difficult to edit the sound because a motion sequence is affecting a knob, you can turn motion sequence off while editing (☞p.58 “Mo- tion sequence”).
