7.1. Extend a pattern
A pattern can be lengthened in two different ways: by adding blank steps, or by taking the
data from the beginning of the pattern and copying it to the end of the pattern.
7.1.1. Adding blank steps
The process of adding blank steps involves using the >> button and the Last Step button. This
was covered in the
.
7.1.2. Copy and append
It’s also possible to extend a pattern by copying data from the beginning of the pattern and
attaching it to the end of the existing pattern. Patterns can be extended up to the maximum
length of 64 steps.
To extend a pattern, hold Shift and then press the >> button. This will copy every existing
event in the pattern and append it to the end of the pattern, starting after the current Last
Step.
Here are some rules to keep in mind:
• If the pattern has more than 32 steps, this process will copy/append as many
steps as possible until the maximum number of steps is reached (64).
• If the pattern is shorter than 32 steps, then that number of steps is copied and
the sequence is doubled in length.
Here are some examples of this process in action:
