7.4.10 Adding Variation to Patterns
Variation provides an abundance of inspiration and even “happy accidents” when applied to
your workflow. The variation engine contains two modes:
▪ Humanize: This mode adds natural rhythmic fluctuations to programmed sequences.
▪ Random: This mode provides randomly generated patterns or variations of your beats and
melodies based on customizable values.
Variation is available in both Pad mode and Keyboard mode and can be applied to a Sound. In
Keyboard mode the Variation Random mode contains extra parameters that allow you to add
variety to melodic content.
To access Variation mode:
1. Select the Group (A–H) containing the Sound to which you want to apply the variation.
2. Press SELECT + Sound (1–16).
3. Press SHIFT + PATTERN to access the Variation controls.
4. Press Button 1 to pin the Variation page.
The displays contain the following parameters depending on whether you are Pad mode or Key-
board mode:
