ShuffleThe Shuffle control adds a swing value to the pattern's notes so that withina given clock interval the odd step numbers (notes) are lengthened and theeven ones are shortened (or vice versa). It is much easier to hear this effectthan to explain it. To hear the effect, create a pattern of 4 steps and thenvary the Shuffle parameter. The change in the rhythm of the pattern shouldbe clearly audible.TransposeThe Transpose control enables the pitch of the entire pattern to betransposed over a range of +- 24 semitones.RandomThe Random control is a playback parameter that determines the order andtiming in which pattern notes are played back. Note that the effect of theRandom control is not shown on the Pattern Display. When the control isON it sets pattern playback so that it randomly plays back notes that arepart of the current pattern. Note that the timing of the notes also israndomised.Ping-PongThe Ping-Pong control is a playback parameter that determines the order inwhich notes are played back. Note that the effect of the control is not shownon the Pattern Display. When the control is ON it sets the pattern playbackso that it first plays the pattern in the forwards direction, and then plays thepattern in reverse order. Note that the steps at the end of the pattern arenot repeated. For example, the pattern 1_2_3_4 would play back as1_2_3_4_3_2_1_2_3...40 Manual
