Bars and pattern length

adds a 16-step bar (four at most), removes one, duplicates, tapping switches bars, and sets how many steps the last bar plays.

Duplicate the first bar, then change a detail in the copy. Length makes odd patterns easy: 12 steps for a bar of 3/4. The OS changelog calls bars "pages".

Details

  • adds a bar of 16 steps and removes one; a pattern holds at most four bars.

    TE’s guide
  • duplicates the current bar; in a two-bar pattern it doubles the phrase, copying bar 1 to bar 3 and bar 2 to bar 4.

    TE’s guide
  • Since OS 1.1.3, duplicated bars keep their step components and parameter locks.

    TE’s changelog
  • Tapping changes which bar the step keys show; a bar picked during playback or recording stays on the keys instead of following the playhead.

    TE’s guide
  • Holding and pressing a step key sets how many steps the pattern plays; with several bars it trims the final bar only.

    TE’s guide
  • Bars and length together allow any pattern length from 1 to 64 steps.
