4.4. Save Patterns

Saving you new creation as a pattern works exactly the same way as saving a preset. Please keep in mind 

that a pattern contains nothing but the notes (and swing / shuffle settings) of a sequence – no sound set-

tings and therefore no mod tracks. Saving a preset as a pattern works in principle, but this means losing the 

mod track settings.

To save a pattern, please

•  Hit 

SHIFT

 (hold) + S

AVE PAT

 to enter the save pattern function. 

•  Hit 

ENTER

 to save the new pattern to the current location (this step is not shown in the picture).

Please note: 

This will overwrite the pattern previously stored in this place! Make sure that this 

is really your intention – there is 

NO undo function on MAGMA! Have we mentioned the „All 

things must pass“ quote already?

To select another location for storing the pattern, please

•  Hit and hold a 

BUTTON

 in the lower row (sub-bank)  + hit a 

BUTTON

 in the upper row (pattern) to 

select sub-bank and pattern location. You can also use the 

VALUE

 encoder instead of hitting a button 

in the upper row.

•  Hit 

ENTER

 to save the new pattern to the selected memory location (this step is not shown in the 

picture).

4.5. Clearing Notes, Presets, Patterns, Shuffle, M1 - M3

Not all of your creations might have had your Master‘s Touch. Do not fear, you can easily get rid of them 

and make room for what really brings out your musical wit.

MAGMA´s clear function gives access to every aspect you have previously programmed:

•  Clear presets:  clears the entire preset (sequencer and sound settings)

•  Clear pattern:  clears the pattern (all sequencer settings)

•  Clear notes: 

clears the notes of a preset or pattern (note track of the sequencer)

•  Clear M1 - M3:  clears the selected mod track of a pattern

•  Clear shuffle:  clears the shuffle settings of the selected preset or pattern.

To use the clear function, please

First, select the desired preset, pattern and, where necessary, any additional function you want to erase. 

•  Hit 

SHIFT

 (hold) + 

PRESET

  or  

PATTERN

  or  

NOTE

  or  

M1-M3

  or  

SHUFFLE 

•  Hit 

SHIFT

 (hold) + 

CLEAR 

Please note that there is 

NO UNDO function on MAGMA – once cleared, there is no way to ret-

rieve a preset, pattern etc.! So please think twice before hitting the clear button! Once it is gone, 

it will be gone for good.
