14. Beat shift
• You use this feature to shift the entire pattern backwards or
forwards in time, by 16th-note increments.
• A setting of +01* , for example, shifts the phrase forward
(toward the end of the pattern) by one 16th note, while a
setting of -01* shifts the phrase backwards by that amount.
• This feature lets you produce a wide range of variations
from a single phrase. This, in turn, increases the range of
patterns that you can build.

tered, and continues until the last measure of the pattern or
until a subsequent entry is encountered on the same line
(track).
• You select a phrase by moving the cursor to the matrix po-
sition, then setting the phrase number as described immedi-
