10.9. Device Settings
The right side of the MIDI Control Center window contains essential parameters you can
use to optimize BeatStep Pro for your setup and your working style. You will need to scroll
down to see them all.
10.9.1. Global parameters
10.9.1.1. Pattern Link
The first parameter determines how the sequencers will respond when a new pattern is
selected from the front panel. There are two settings: Absolute and Relative.
Absolute : all of the sequencers will change to the same pattern number whether you use the
< or > buttons or select a pattern directly using the Step buttons. Note that each sequencer
has its own set of < and > buttons, so the results may vary.
Example: If SEQ1 = 01, SEQ2 = 02, and DRUM = 03, there are three possible results:
1. Press the > button for SEQ1: All sequencers will change to pattern 02.
2. Press the > button for SEQ2: All sequencers will change to pattern 03.
3. Press the > button for DRUM: All sequencers will change to pattern 04.
Relative : the sequencers will add or subtract a number from the pattern selections when the
< or > buttons are used.
Example: If SEQ1 = 01, SEQ2 = 02, and DRUM = 03, pressing any one of the > buttons once
will increment all pattern numbers by one. Result: SEQ1 = 02, SEQ2 = 03, and DRUM = 04.

♪ : Direct selection of a pattern by holding Sequencer 1, Sequencer 2, or Drum and then pressing a
Step button will give the same result as using the < or > buttons.
