To copy pattern 1 to the other patterns, first go into Pattern Edit using
PLAY/EDIT plus the track number.
Then press PLAY/EDIT as if to return to Play Mode, but before you SAVE the
pattern, press step key 2, 3 or 4 for the pattern number to copy it to. The
display will indicate Save To:, and when you then press SAVE (F1), the
pattern will be stored in the selected pattern number.

To get the newly copied patterns playing on a track, hold FUNC and press the
track key to enter Playlist Edit.

To create a playlist 2, 3 or 4 patterns in length, hold the LENG softkey
(F3), then press the PLAYLIST STEP key for the last step of your playlist.
For a 4 step playlist (i.e. so you can have 4 patterns play in sequence)
press PLAYLIST STEP 4 (step key 12).
Now you should have 4 green LEDs lit to show a 4 step playlist, with 1 LED
flashing.

As the playlist advances, the current playlist step LED flashes, and the
step number is shown after C: in the top left of the display.
You can select the pattern number to play on each step using the PATTERN
keys (step keys 1 to 8).
The selected pattern on each step is indicated by a red LED.

To select a pattern for a playlist step other than the currently playing
step, you need to enter 'edit' mode.
Hold the STEP softkey (F1) then press the playlist step key for the step to
select - you'll see the display text change from C: and the current step
number to E: and the step number you chose to select the pattern on.

To exit Playlist Edit, press FUNC again, then F1 to SAVE the changed
playlist.

Playlists are powerful, but the edit mode can be a bit daunting at first.
Sometime soon, I'm going to add a 'simple' mode to playlist edit, to allow
you to set up playlists of contiguous patterns more quickly.

Cheers,
Colin f
