4.2.2.2 Adjusting the Pattern Length using the Controller
1. Hold PATTERN.
At the bottom of the left display, you see that the LENGTH parameter is currently set to
1:0:0, which means one bar.
2. While holding PATTERN, turn Knob 1 to set a new value for the Pattern Length.
The empty Pattern in Pattern slot 2 now has a new length, as you can see in the soft-
ware’s Pattern Editor.
To change the resolution of the Pattern Grid (the resolution at which the Patten Length
can be resized) turn Knob 2 GRID. For detailed information on the Pattern Grid and Pat-
tern Length please refer to the Manual.
4.2.3 Recording a new Pattern using the Count-in
Once your empty Pattern in Pattern slot 2 has the desired length, you are ready for recording.
You have already learned how to record a Pattern by starting the sequencer hen enabling the
record mode, also using the metronome (see ↑2.3, Recording Your First Pattern). Here we will
show you another useful aid for recording: the Count-in.
You can change the Count-in Preferences > General > Default Metronome Settings.
Activation of Count-in is unavailable from the software. Please use your controller as de-
scribed below.
1. Check that the PLUG-IN button at the top left corner of your controller is lit — if not,
press it to enter Control mode.
2. Press METRO.
3. Press SHIFT + REC to start recording using the Count-in.
The metronome is automatically activated and plays a full bar before the sequencer and
the recording actually start.
