4.2.6. Pattern Length

The default length is 16 steps, but a pattern can be up to 64 steps long.

If you’d like your pattern to be less than 16 steps long, simply hold the LST STEP button and

then press the Step button that corresponds to the desired setting. If you'd like it to be longer

than 16 steps, see

Pattern Lengths > 16 steps [p.44]

below.

4.2.6.1. Pattern Follow mode

When working with patterns longer than 16 steps there is an important feature to know.

When the double arrow buttons (« ») are pressed at the same time, their LEDs will toggle off

and on. This takes BeatStep Pro into and out of Pattern Follow mode.

When this mode is active during playback, the Step Group LEDs and the Step buttons will

show steps 1-16, then steps 17-32, then return to steps 1-16, and so on.

: The playback of the pattern itself is not affected when Pattern Follow mode is disabled. This only

affects what you are seeing, which should make it easier to edit particular sections of the pattern.
