This mode works only in Zynthian's Zynpad, Arranger or Pattern Editor. To activate it, press '''PROG CHANGE''':<code>PAD 7</code>. You should see <code>Zynthian PATTERN</code> in the display of your MPK. Note that all the following PADs are assumed to be in '''bank A'''.
<p style="margin: 1em 0 1.5em; padding: 1em; background-color: #fef6e7; display:table-cell">
'''NOTE''': Remember to put PAD CONTROLS in '''CC mode'''. The pads in ''note'' mode will only trigger the assigned notes.
</p>
En any screen (Zynpad, Arranger or Pattern Editor), you can:
* '''Move the cursor''' using the joystick, or <code>K2</code> for vertical and <code>K6</code> for horizontal displacement.
* Press and hold <code>PAD 3</code> as '''SHIFT''', when required.
In '''Pattern Editor''', you will have the following functionality:
* '''Transport controls''' using the upper row PADs, following the same arrangement as in Mixer mode (<code>PAD 5</code>: stop all sounds, <code>PAD 6</code>: toggle record, <code>PAD 7</code>: stop, <code>PAD 8</code>: toggle playback).
* '''Move along patterns''' of the same track in current sequence. Press <code>PAD 1</code> for previous pattern, and <code>PAD 2</code> for next. If there are no more patterns in current track, you can '''create a new one''' pressing <code>SHIFT</code> + <code>NEXT</code> (i.e: <code>PAD 3</code> + <code>PAD 2</code>) while visiting the last pattern.
* '''Toggle step''' in cursor's position, pressing <code>PAD 4</code>.
* '''Adjust''' the selected step, using the following Knobs:
** Step's '''duration''': <code>K7</code>. It will change in increments of 0.1 steps, or, by pressing <code>SHIFT</code> in 0.5 steps.
** Step's '''velocity''': <code>K8</code>.
** Step's '''stutter count''': <code>K3</code>. Ranges from 0 to 32.
** Step's '''stutter duration''': <code>K4</code>. Ranges from 1 to 96, and is measured in clock cycles.
In '''Zynpad''', you may:
** Toggle '''playing''' the selected sequence, by pressing <code>PAD 4</code>.
** If the MPK is in '''FULL LEVEL''', each PAD can launch/stop a sequence. PADs in bank A, for sequences between 1 and 8, and bank B for sequences 9-16. This
