Still exploring my way around this incredible device. :shocked:
I have found that a nice way to get lots of pattern variation - particularly drum rolls - is to use the scrub wheel to manually set the sequencer position in real-time (hold Scrub button and twist the big encoder).
After a bit of practice I can get really natural-sounding fills going - the key is releasing the Scrub button at the right moment. And if I turn-on Sync to Measure (In the Direction page, set SyncM to yes) I can go mental and the pattern stays perfectly in sync.
Also using the GP buttons in Manual page to do this - the advantage being that it affects the current track only. Also, Sync-to-Measure is not required because pressing Select resynchronizes everything. Just a little practice needed. This is probably old-news to most users, but it's a feature I love.
It got me around to thinking - it would be cool if I could jam like this on a track (say a basic kick, snare, hat pattern) and record this output to another MIDI track.
In any case, the MIDI records perfectly into a DAW - an easy way to make lots of interesting MIDI patterns from a simple one very quickly.
