When the arranger is used to trigger multiple patterns and/or tracks from a pad, this behaviour changes. The pattern will only be accessible from within the arranger view. For more info see [[ZynSeq User Guide#Arranger|the Arranger section]]''+ − </blockquote>+ − + − ==== Step sequences and the Step Grid ==== − − There is a grid on the right called the ''Step Grid''. On the left is a representation of a piano keyboard, scale or drum map. Each row represents a note and each column in the step grid represents a step in the sequence. − − By default, step sequences are a quantised collection of events, i.e. each event occurs at a discrete time and the available discrete times are equally and evenly distributed across the pattern. This means the difference in time between step 1 and step 2 occurring is the same as the difference in time between step 2 and step 3 occurring. It is possible to record or move events off this quantised grid which will be described later. − − ==== Navigating the Pattern Editor and Entering Notes ==== − − One of the cells in the step grid has a coloured outline. This is the ''cursor'' and identifies which cell is currently highlighted. Rotate encoder 3 to move the cursor up and down (between notes) and encoder 4 to move the cursor left and right (between steps). To add a note, short SELECT a cell in the grid. A note may be removed in the same way. On a touchscreen, press and drag to allow more accurate positioning. As a note is added it is also sounded (MIDI sent to engine). The grid may be zoomed (simultaneous horizontal and vertial) with encoder 2 or pinch on a touchscreen. The grid will scroll when the cursor reaches an edge or with two finger drag on a touchscreen. Touching a key on the keyboard plays that note briefly. This is a useful tool for auditioning notes or phrases before adding them to the step grid. − − ==== Preview, Pattern Duration and Resolution ==== − − To preview a pattern, start or pause the transport by pressing the play button, learn/shot encoder or tapping the status area. A coloured bar at the bottom of the view will move left to right to indicate the position of the playhead and any notes entered in the pattern will be sent to the zynthian's engines. To stop and recue to the start of the pattern, bold press. Playback speed (Tempo) can be adjusted with the encoder 1 or by selecting "Tempo" from the menu. − − The MIDI channel used by the Pattern Editor will be chosen from the sequence / track from which it is launched, e.g. if you selected the first pad (without changing default settings) it should play on MIDI channel 1. − − There are vertical white lines indicating the beats. The quantity of beats in the pattern may be adjusted from the menu as well as the quantity of steps in each beat. This allows the duration and quantisation level of the pattern to be adjusted. Changing the beats in pattern will change the pattern duration. Changing the steps per beat will change the pattern resolution. − − Add some notes to form a melody and preview with the play function.

Zynthian now offers performance options within the pattern editor that '''apply to the whole pattern'''. This includes settings to adjust:
* Time signatures
* Beats
* Swing
* Random/humanisation options to time and velocity
* Probability (note chance)
