4.2. Pattern Editing
There are three ways to make precision edits to a pattern: Step mode, Accent mode, and
Color mode. Each method allows you to make specific edits inside the pattern, and they also
can be used to build a pattern from the ground up if you like.
You can make edits to a pattern in all three modes whether the pattern is recording or
paused.
4.2.1. Step Mode
To enter Step mode, press the Step mode button.
The Step buttons will display the events that exist in the pattern for the selected instrument.
A Step button that is lit in Step mode contains a note event, while a dark Step button means
that step is not yet being used in the pattern.
Use the Step buttons to toggle events on and off as needed. Events that are toggled from Off
to On within Step mode will always be blue. Step buttons that are red in Step mode indicate
an Accent step (see the next section).
4.2.2. Accent Mode
Accent mode is a one way to increase the emphasis of a particular step inside an instrument
track. A Step button that is lit red in Accent mode indicates that an Accent event occurs at
that step. Accents are also visible as red steps within Step mode.
Use the Step buttons to enter Accent events. Events that you toggle from Off to On within
Accent mode will always be red. Events that are blue indicate that an event already exists in
the pattern at that step but it has not yet been accented.
The
allows you to define what the MIDI velocity of accented steps
will be. See
for information about this MIDI Control Center feature.
4.2.3. Color Mode
Color mode is similar to the Step/Accent modes in some ways and very different in others.
For example, events may be entered directly in Color mode using the techniques described
in the
and
sections, but unless a note event already
exists at that step within Step mode or Accent mode a note will not be generated by the
Color step.
To access Color mode, hold the Color button. To lock the Step buttons in Color mode, hold
the Shift button and then press the Color button. Either way, when Color mode is active the
Step buttons are used to enter Color events.
Full details about Color mode are available
in the
. For
the rest of this chapter we will focus on Step mode and Accent mode.
