Values *See description below * Information useful for power users wishing to implement their own editors. Each of the 64 bytes in a track has its bits set/cleared as follows: Bit 0 STEP_BYTE_MASK_ON_OFF_BIT - 1=Step On, 0=Step Off Bit 1 RESERVED - Reserved / Not used Bit 2 STEP_BYTE_MASK_PROBABILITY_BIT - 1=Step On, 0=Step Off Bit 3 STEP_BYTE_MASK_FLAM_BIT - 1=Step On, 0=Step Off Bit 4 STEP_BYTE_MASK_NOTE_REPEAT_ON_OFF_BIT - 1=Step On, 0=Step Off Bit 5 STEP_BYTE_MASK_NOTE_REPEAT_LS_BIT 00 = Repeat 1, 01 = Repeat 2, 10 = Repeat 4, 11 = Repeat 8 Bit 6 STEP_BYTE_MASK_NOTE_REPEAT_MS_BIT 00 = Repeat 1, 01 = Repeat 2, 10 = Repeat 4, 11 = Repeat 8 Bit 7 RESERVED Pattern Parameters Some of the parameters in the Pattern Data file are comparable to the Global Parameters. When these parameters are in use (i.e. the corresponding Preference is set to Pattern), selecting a new pattern for playback will trigger the corresponding change in the sequencer. A change to the Step Size is one such example.
