Saving, Copying, and Clearing

Saving
To save patterns or global settings:
1. Press and hold Shift, and then press Step Switch 16 (Save). Its Step Indicator will flash
green.
2. Release Step Switch 16 (Save), but keep holding Shift. (To cancel and exit the saving
process at any time, release Shift.)
3. Turn the Tempo knob to select what you want to save: all patterns and global settings
(All), the current pattern only (One), or the global settings only (Glo).
Important: Global settings include the tempo, the MIDI Out/Thru setting, and the Sync
setting.
4. Press Step Switch 16 (Save), and then release Shift.
Copying
Important: Copying does not save a pattern. To retain the copied pattern, you must save it, as
well.
To copy the current pattern:
1. Press and hold Shift, and then press Step Switch 14 (Copy). The Step Indicator for the
current pattern will flash green. The Step Indicators for non-empty patterns will flash
amber. The Step Indicators for empty patterns will be unlit.
2. Release Step Switch 14 (Copy), but keep holding Shift.
3. Press the Step Switch with the same number as the "destination" pattern (the pattern you
want to copy to). The pattern will copy and load the destination pattern. After that, release
Shift.
To cancel, press the Step Switch with the same number as the current pattern (its Step
Indicator is flashing green), and then release Shift.
Clearing
Important: Clearing does not save a pattern. To retain the empty pattern, you must save it, as
well.
To clear the current pattern:
1. Press and hold Shift, and then press Step Switch 15 (Clear). Its Step Indicator will flash
green.
2. Press Step Switch 15 (Clear) again.
