Creating Patterns
To let machines play notes and change parameters while you play the song - instructions are required. In this case you use patterns to registrate those instructions.

Before you may create a pattern, you need to make sure you are currently viewing the correct machine within the pattern Editor. Follow these steps to ensure you are in the right place:

1. Press F2 , or click the Pattern Editor icon .
2. Select the dropdown box labeled "Machine" with either your mouse or Keyboard ( Alt-M ), to ensure you are using the correct machine.
3. Select the machine you are attempting to create a Pattern for.

Note: For generators alone, automatically a blank pattern is created when they are entered in the machine editor. You may use this pattern (premarked " 00 ") as your first one. You may rename it at any time.

Patterns are created by using either the mouse or keyboard. With the mouse, Patterns are created by right-clicking anywhere on the pattern editor, and selecting "New Pattern..." from the pop-up menu. Creating a pattern with the keyboard is accomplished by simply hitting Ctrl-Enter . Once you have done either of these actions, you will be presented with the following dialog box:
