DanO,
When doing this with a synth you don't hear the pattern while you're assigning them to specific measures.. When you go into the pattern chain mode you'll see all the measures listed. The patterns aren't playing while doing this. Interesting the SD-1 does this... I'm curious, when changing the patterns on the SD-1 are these only recorded in real-time? Or can you call up a screen showing all available measures for the song and manually select where they go while the pattern is not playing?
