I had a look at the dump file you sent me, and it seems like you're
confusing tracks and patterns.
In play mode, the step keys 1 to 8 show the mute status of the 8 tracks.
Each of these tracks will have 4, 8 or 16 patterns depending on the
configured memory layout.
But you can't select the current pattern on each track directly from
play mode - this has to be done in playlist edit.
When you press PLAY/EDIT and one of the track keys in play mode, you
will edit the *current* pattern playing on that track.
You have created 4 patterns in pattern number 1 across 4 tracks.

The 4 green LEDs in playmode show you tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all
active.
The red LED on step 9 shows you have part 1 selected.

> 5. In enter playlist-mode by pressing FUNC+step 1

OK, now you're editing the playlist for track 1.

Now you are making track 1 step through its patterns 1 to 4, but you
haven't put anything into patterns 2, 3 or 4 - the notes are in pattern
1 on tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4.
To edit the patterns on track 1 use PLAY/EDIT + the track button from
play mode to edit each pattern as it is the current one, or in playlist
edit mode press PLAY/EDIT plus the step key of the pattern number to
edit for that track.

You have 4 tracks each playing one pattern - all tracks play in
parallel. Track 1 will only play one pattern though - the first one in
the playlist.
What you want is track 1 to step through 4 patterns in its playlist.

In playmode, press step keys 2, 3 and 4 to mute those tracks, so that
there is only a green LED on track 1.
Go into playlist edit on track 1, and watch your playlist advance.
To edit each of the patterns from playlist edit, hold PLAY/EDIT and
press the step key for the pattern number you want to edit.
Hope this helps !
