Specifying the length and time signature
of a pattern
Here’s how the Length, Beat (time signature), and Last Step are related.
On the ESX-1, the total number of measures (or bars) in a pattern is called the “length.”
The number of steps (or beats) in one of these measures is designated by the “last
step.” The type of note that is counted as a step is called the “beat.”
If you select “8Tri” or “16Tri” as the beat, the last step will automatically be set
to 12, meaning that step keys 13–16 will have no function. If you select “16” or
“32” as the beat, the last step will be automatically set to 16. You can set any step
in a pattern to be the last step.
To check the length and beat
With the pattern stopped, hold down the SHIFT key. The upper line
of select LEDs (green) will indicate the current pattern length in
measures, and the lower line of select LEDs (red) will indicate the
beat setting.
The following diagram shows how the step keys, notes and maxi-
mum number of steps are related.
