Here’s a cool outro that’s like a fade-out — only much more interesting!
While the Pattern is running, select Scratch 73 (Part Mixer). Turn the Scratch Pad counter-clock-
wise slowly to take instruments out of the mix, one-by-one. After playing a couple of bars of only
the last instrument, hit PATTERN STOP right on the “one.”
◆ Tech note The specific Parts that are muted and the order in which they are brought in and out
of the mix differs according to the selected Pattern.

Here’s another example of Part Mixer magic!
Select P31, and start up V A1. Let the full Pattern play for one bar, then cut out some parts on the
next bar. Repeat and alternate with some other Part Mixer settings, then change to V A3. Here’s
the recipe:

Each 1/4 turn goes forward or back one “step” in the Part
Mix arrangement. Turning the pad around a full 360°
counter-clockwise instantly takes the mix down to the mini-
mum. Turning it 360° clockwise restores the maximum mix.

Take it down to the
cymbal and bass —
180° counter-clock-
wise, or 1/2 turn. Bring the whole mix
in again — press
LOOP. Take it down to the
bass — 270°
counter-clockwise,
or 3/4 turn.
