Programming Roll
With the roll function the starting point of a Pattern is shifted. The Pattern length
remains unaffected.
The selected step and its cursor is shifted to the left when you press the buttom Roll.
Roll and a pattern with 16 steps:
the starting step sequence:
1,2,3,...15,16 (1 is the original starting point)
press Roll once:
2,3,4,5.......16,1 (2 is the new starting point)
press Roll again:
3,4,5,6......16,1,2 (3 is the new starting point)
Roll and a pattern with 3 steps: (the steps in parentheses are not played)
the starting step sequence:
1,2,3 (4.5.6.7.... 16) (1 is the original starting point)
press Roll once:
2,3,1 (4.5.6.7.... 16) (2 is the new starting point)
press Roll again:
3,1,2 (4.5.6.7.... 16) (3 is the new starting point)
pattern length is increased to 5-Steps: 3,1,2,4,5 (6.7.... 16)
press Roll once:
1,2,4,5,3 (6.7.... 16)
press Roll again:
2,4,5,3,1 (6.7.... 16)
Roll changes the step sequence just in over the programmed pattern length!
Not played steps, with pattern lengths lower than 16, are not shifted in their
position.
