48 Hitting a new Pattern and Variation
— at the same time!
There will be times when you’ll want to change not only to a new Pattern, but to a specific Variation
— instantly and at the same time. Here’s the best way to do that!
First, simultaneously hold down PATTERN and turn the Scratch Pad to call up the new Pattern num-
ber. Remember to keep holding down PATTERN! Then — just at the “one” downbeat in the Pattern
— press the desired Pattern button. Both the Pattern number and the Variation number change
simultaneously.
49 Hitting a new Pattern, Bank and
Variation — at the same time!
Here’s a sophisticated twist to Tip 48 above — changing the Bank along with the Pattern and Varia-
tion!
First, simultaneously hold down PATTERN and turn the Scratch Pad to call up the new Pattern num-
ber. Remember to keep holding down PATTERN! Next, press the A/B BANK button. Finally (with-
out releasing the PATTERN button), press the desired PATTERN PLAYER button — just at the “one”
downbeat in the Pattern. The Pattern number, the Bank and the Variation number all change simul-
taneously!
